Help Plant Trees in Framingham

Energize Framingham is engaged in another great environmental action effort aimed at making positive change in Framingham. The focus is on increasing the tree canopy on the south side of the city.

Here is map which shows the tree canopy in Framingham:

It is quite clear that the tree canopy on the south side needs a lot of improvement. On the south side, the summer temperatures can be 10 degrees higher than on the north side just due to the lack of tree canopy.

"Trees For South Framingham

Come to our organizing meeting!

Energize Framingham is gathering people interested in adding trees to “heat island” areas – those that lack sufficient tree cover – to discuss strategies, solutions, and next steps. All are invited, especially potential partners and volunteers who are part of the South Framingham communities, could potentially provide funding or saplings and/or are experienced in logistics. Volunteers will also be needed to help map eligible streets to prioritize for tree planting, plant the trees, educate residents on caring for the trees, and other kinds of support. "
