Want to make a difference in your community right from your yard? Consider signing up for our Neighborwoods program! At no cost to you, a trained professional will plant a tree on your property. Yes, you read correctly, a free tree. Locations where we will plant include but are not limited to private residences, community centers, houses of worship, co-ops, and businesses! Help us add tree equity to your property and the neighborhood.

Speak for the Trees is preparing for the upcoming Summer Teen Urban Tree Corps program and is excited to announce that our Team Leader application is live! Team Leaders are young adults, ages 19-24, who supervise youth participants in caring for Boston's tree canopy by engaging in tree identification, tree climbing, plantings, watering, and more. This temporary, 8-10 week summer position is paid at $20/hr for 30 hours weekly. Team. Leaders will work nine weeks from mid-June to mid-August; the exact dates are TBD.

To apply, please send your resume and a cover letter to Joshua Reed, our education coordinator, at [email protected].

Drop by and join us on Thursday, February 27, 2025, anytime between 3-7pm, at the Boston Nature Center for a community meeting to discuss plans for planting more trees at Mt. Hope Cemetery this spring. Speak for the Trees and American Forests are working to expand tree planting efforts, and we invite members of the Mt. Hope Canterbury Association—who we partnered with in the fall—to help shape the next phase of this project. A nearby meeting space ensures both SFTT and community members can collaborate effectively. Come share your thoughts and be part of this important greening initiative!
