As the summer continues, our Teen Urban Tree Corps youth have continued their watering routes, field trips, and lessons. They have been watering 3 days a week, and they are now experts not only in use of the hydrant, but also in weeding and mulching.
They've received lessons from guests such as Rev. Mariama, the City of Boston’s Chief of the Environment, Energy, and Open Spaces Department. She was able to give our teens insight about her career experience and the future challenges that Boston may face due to climate change. Our teens were also visited by artists Claudia Paraschiv and Azia Carle, who allowed our teens to participate in their art installation project "Continuity in Growth''. They've also visited Harvard Forest, took the Harbor Islands ferry to Spectacle Island, and rode a bucket truck at Mt. Auburn Cemetery.
