Cambridge Urban Forestry Division Celebrates 2024 Milestones
In 2024, the Urban Forestry Division of Cambridge Public Works planted 1,250 new trees and removed 5,000 square feet of pavement to create better planting conditions, enhancing the city's green infrastructure. The Division maintained a strong tree survival rate, with only 3.5% mortality for spring plantings, and expanded community engagement through the revamped Cambridge Urban Forest Friends newsletter, which saw over 105% subscriber growth. Residents can support the city's urban forest by becoming an Urban Forest Friend or subscribing to the newsletter.
Change in Cumulative COVID-19 Death Data
As a result of a data reclassification by the Commonwealth, COVID-associated deaths reported for Cambridge residents have been adjusted to reflect 19 additional deaths dating from the onset of the pandemic in March 2020.
