Coming Soon - New Street Trees

Beginning Friday, November 2nd, forestry crews began planting new street trees in designated areas around the City. Over the next few weeks, an estimated 211 trees will be planted throughout the City. Thirty-five scheduled plantings are funded through the participatory budget. Below is the list of proposed planting locations selected by the City Arborist. Species availability, unforeseen planting location conflicts, and inclement weather make this list subject to change.

Ahead of this work, stickers were placed on the sidewalk indicating new locations that would be suitable for a tree. Residents are encouraged to contact DPW Forestry Department at 617-349-4885 /cambridgetree@cambridgema.gov if they see a sticker in a location where they do not want a tree. Removing a sticker from the sidewalk does not eliminate the location from the planting list. 

The Department of Public Works is planting more trees every planting season. The care that newly planted trees receive in the adopt-a-tree program helps a tree's survival.
