BUFF Symposium 2022

Boston Urban Forest Friends (BUFF) is a coalition of local organizations, community groups, and individuals focused on increasing partnerships and collaboration around growing Boston’s urban canopy. BUFF is coordinated by Speak for the Trees and this year we will be hosting a Symposium on Saturday, June 25 from 10am to 2pm at the Copley Library. The event is free and open to the public.

We will be gathering to reflect on the past year and the years ahead. Come hear from local leaders in the urban forestry movement and learn about what neighbors across the city are doing to grow and support Boston’s tree canopy. All Boston residents are welcome, so please share with your community. You can register at https://bostonforest.com/buff-meetings/buff-symposium

Welcome Laurel

Help us welcome Laurel Clark as our new MassCEC Summer Intern! Laurel is studying Environmental Analysis and Policy as a rising senior at Boston University. After spending her youth in a region of many food deserts, her interest in environmental justice grew out of her passions for food justice and the outdoors. She is excited to advance her understanding of tree equity and urban forestry, and to contribute to the work of Speak for the Trees Boston as an intern.

We've been awarded an Environmental Justice Grant from the EPA!

We would like to thank the US Environmental Protection Agency for awarding Speak for the Trees a $75,000 grant to focus on tree walks and tree stories. The grant, "Community Tree Stories:
Exploring Healthy Environments in Three Boston EJ Neighborhoods" will explore the relationship of community members and their local urban forest. Stay tuned for updates about how you can get involved and join us for these community walks.

We have trees looking for homes
  • Have a nearby park that could use some trees?
  • Is your street bare and hot in the summer?
  • Is your school or local business looking empty?

We're here to support community projects that will bring trees to you and your neighborhood. Please fill out our brief tree planting proposal form and we'll reach out.
