Harambee Park, Dorchester MA In partnership with the City of Boston and PowerCorpsBOS, and supported by Salesforce and American Forests, dozens of volunteers came together to plant 44 trees in Harambee Park. Ranging from eastern redbuds and black tupelos to sugar maples and dogwoods, these trees will provide spring flowers, fall foliage, and, most importantly, cooler and cleaner air, to this Dorchester park. Tree Stewardship Perhaps you spotted a group of high-school students this summer with their watering carts and hydrant meters. As in years past, this year we welcomed 15 Boston young adults to our 6-week summer Teen Urban Tree Corps program. These participants took on a new role of caring for and watering over 200 street trees. Considering the heat and drought, the trees certainly appreciated the extra TLC! 4
