Fall Benefit:

Branching Out for Our Future

Planting Trees, Nurturing Communities

At Speak for the Trees we care about trees because they care for us.

Trees provide numerous benefits: they clean our air, cool our neighborhoods, mitigate flooding, and provide a sense of belonging and respite. Yet, due to historic and system racism, trees in urban areas are inequitably distributed: wealthier and whiter communities tend to have higher tree canopy coverage than low-income communities and communities of color.  This “tree inequity” has real-life consequences: hotter streets, increased asthma rates, higher levels of heart disease, and higher electrical bills, to name a few.

We work to build tree equity by educating residents, advocating for better policies and increased funding, and planting and distributing hundreds of trees in neighborhoods where they’ll have the biggest impact. Our 2023 annual report, Cultivating Connections, highlights our successes from last year.

We are now at a critical juncture in our growth. Our first strategic plan, Guiding Our Growth, was released earlier this year. Our three year plan recognizes the opportunity for growth in staffing, programming, partnerships, and operations.

That’s why we’ve set the goal of raising $125,000 at our benefit event. Your sponsorship is critical to help us meet the moment to and build a more resilient Boston.

By sponsoring this event, you demonstrate your business’s commitment to environmental sustainability and resiliency in Boston and gain significant exposure among our diverse audience of local environmental advocates, community leaders, and attendees who all understand the power of trees and the need to build a more racially, socially, and environmentally just city.

In a planet beset by increased temperatures and social divisions, trees are a critical tool for building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities. Perhaps more importantly, trees bring us together to grow, connect, and learn. We hope you too will come together with us on October 10 in this work.
