Brookline GreenSpace Alliance Donates Trees to Denny Health Center

BROOKLINE, MA — The Brookline GreenSpace Alliance has gifted to the Park & Open Space Division a tree planting at the Denny Health Center.

The gift comes in light of recommendations in the newly approved Brookline Urban Forest Climate Resiliency Master Plan, which include growing, protecting, and managing the town’s Urban Forest. The plan specifically cites the Denny Health Center as needing increased planting.

"This location where land is under public control we are able to make an immediate contribution in a dense part of Town,” said Brookline GreenSpace Alliance in a news release. "In this way we will be contributing to The Action Plan goal of growing the urban forest which highlights the ecological, human health, and resilience benefits of trees.”

The Brookline GreenSpace Alliance is a nonprofit environmental advocacy and education organization formed in 1987 by a group of concerned citizens to preserve, protect, and enhance the open spaces of Brookline.

The organization works to achieve their mission by advocating for policies, by-laws, and practices that promote the use, health, and beauty of the natural environment, supporting and encouraging the formation of park friends groups, and providing educational opportunities for the community to learn about and get involved in the protection and stewardship of open space.
