A Microforest in Dorchester

We're partnering with Codman Academy Public Charter School to plant a over a dozen trees in Dorchester

Speak for the Trees is proud to partner with Codman Academy Public Charter School in Dorchester to transform a lot on Norfolk Street into a microforest and educational space. This forest will include dozens of trees, a walking path, and a shed for educational activities. We'll be sharing with you photos in the coming weeks as trees are planted.

This partnership is made possible in part by a bus-idling settlement reached between Conservation Law Foundation last year.
