Who We Are

 

TreesMedford is comprised of residents who are all passionate about Medford’s (Mass.) tree canopy. We advocate for Medford’s trees in many ways. We organize residents to care for trees; give away trees to residents in the hottest neighborhoods; write grants to build a city tree inventory and to purchase trees for Medford's streets, parks and backyards; and serve as a citizen voice for city policy and planning related to trees.

 

City Forestry

We support the City’s tree warden’s work and advocate for tree-planting and tree-maintenance projects.

There is much that the City can do to adapt to climate change and to mitigate it. The one activity that can do both is to plant more street trees.
