Public, regular meeting of the Cambridge American Freedmen Commission's Community Outreach Subcommittee, held online on Tuesday, July 21, from 6:30 - 8:30 PM. This meeting will be remote for the public and hybrid for commissioners.

With the dry weather for the past 3+ weeks and the projections for the next 10 days continuing to show minimal to no rain, please help our Cambridge street trees thrive and give them a drink! Street trees require lots of water to establish themselves and thrive. Our trees need your help to get enough water.

Bring extra seeds, plants or harvested items from your garden to swap at the Library! We will also have seeds, soil and biodegradable pots so you can plant flowers and vegetables to grow in the late summer and fall. This program is open to people of all ages! No registration is required.
