Last night we were part of the opening of "The Rocks at Harbor Way" to celebrate the planting of dozens of new trees in the Seaport. The Rocks park is a part of the Harbor Way project, which will be a one-third-of-a-mile pedestrian promenade designed to bring increased connectivity and open space to the Seaport neighborhood. It also includes a grove of "Singing Trees" that provide live-streaming music for the space. Our Executive Director spoke of the importance of this pocket park and Boston's newest arboreal members. Thank you WS Development and others for inviting us and in sharing in our commitment to Tree Equity in Boston. As part of this partnership, we are working with corporate Delta Air Lines who share our vision around sustainability. As part of the Seaport Singing Trees program, Delta will be donating $20,000 to Speak for the Trees Boston to support our Teen Urban Tree Corps program, further enabling us to engage underserved teens around the city and foster their love of trees! |
