Tree Equity in Boston: A Speak for the Trees Lecture (Hybrid Event)

This free event will be held both in-person and virtually.

The City of Boston recently released a new Urban Forest Plan that aims to grow the city’s urban forest equitably. In this talk, David Meshoulam, Executive Director of Speak for the Trees, Boston, will introduce the idea of tree equity and discuss its critical importance in a rapidly changing climate. The organization has been examining how the distribution of trees has been shaped by race, politics, and history and engages with residents and municipal leaders to elevate the importance of trees and grow the city’s forest as a tool to build a more resilient Boston.

Co-sponsored by the Brighton Garden Club and the Friends of Faneuil Library.
