Street trees cool the city, absorb pollution, and make our neighborhoods more livable! Vote to plant 100 new trees & build tree wells in the areas that need them most, along with educational signage so you can learn about your “green neighbors."

Let’s green our streets by planting 100 trees in neighborhoods lacking foliage! From cooling heat islands to cleaning our air, these trees will be a long-term investment in making our city a healthier, happier place.

Enjoy the Season and Make it a Safe One for Everyone

As we celebrate the season, let's work together to keep the holidays safe

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.

Trees planted using funds from Participatory Budgeting

In order to increase the long-term survival of newly planted trees, Public Works has improved pre-planting soil preparation, supervision of the planting process, and post-planting watering and other aftercare.
