Urban Forest Plan - March 14, 2022
B
So
welcome
everyone.
Thank
you
for
coming
tonight
tonight,
we'll
introduce
you
to
the
project.
What
the
urban
force
is
what's
happening
with
it
and
who's
involved,
and
then,
given
all
the
information,
what
recommendations
and
goals
do
we
have
and
we're
going
to
leave
plenty
of
time
for
question
and
answer
tonight,
because
we
know
there's
a
lot
to
talk
about
and
the
material
we
share
tonight
is
the
result
of
a
year
of
research
and
outreach
and
we'd
love
to
get
your
thoughts.
B
Well,
a
lot
of
that
work.
You
know
if
you
think
that
these
goals
and
recommendations
look
good.
We
are
developing
the
details.
The
action
items
in
the
draft
plan
and
that'll
make
more
sense
as
we
go
through
this
all
right.
So,
let's
begin
so,
we've
got
a
wonderful
team
on
this
project
and
this
is
not.
Everyone
can
fit
everyone's
photo
on
the
slide,
but
my
name
is
maggie
owens,
I'm
the
project
manager
for
the
urban
forest
plan.
B
We
have
a
wonderful
consultant
team,
that's
a
big
team
and
we
have
a
number
of
staff
here
tonight,
including
davey
shon,
amy,
whitesides
and
chloe
reeves
from
stars
and
stars,
and
urban
canopy
works
are
co-leading.
This
project,
which
is
a
cool
mix
of
design
with
urban
forestry,
and
we
are
also
really
lucky
to
have
dr
nina
estrella
luna
as
our
equity
advisor,
to
really
make
sure
that,
from
the
start,
the
work
that
we
do
the
questions.
We
ask
the
recommendations
we
make
stem
from
a
foundation
of
equity.
B
B
An
urban
forest
plan
is
a
plan
to
expand
the
urban
forest,
both
right
now
and
20
years
from
now
coming
up
with
a
vision
for
what
we
wanted
to
look
like
in
20
years,
but
the
urban
forest,
that's
not
a
common
term
in
most
of
our
lives,
that's
all
the
trees
in
boston
across
public
and
private
properties.
Just
if
there's
a
tree
within
the
city
boundaries,
it's
part
of
the
urban
forest
for
this
project,
and
but
what
does
it
mean
to
expand
that?
Well,
we
want
to
grow
the
canopy
coverage
and
the
canopy
coverage
is.
B
If
you
look
at
the
top
of
a
tree
and
you're
looking
down.
That's
all
the
green
leafy
stuff
in
the
branches.
So
we
want
to
grow
that
and
protecting
and
routine
care
will
be
one
of
the
most
important
things
we
can
do
to
expand
the
forest
to
grow,
that
green,
leafy,
stuff
and
planting
will
also
be
important.
B
So
the
urban
forest
plan
is
a
plan
to
grow
that
the
canopy
now
and
in
20
years-
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that
this
plan
is
coordinating
with
other
work
in
the
city.
There's
a
lot
of
projects
going
on
at
any
one
time,
and
what's
particularly
cool
about
this
project,
is
that
it's
happening
at
the
same
time
as
the
heat
resilience
study,
the
open
space
and
recreation
plan,
and
then
we
have
the
urban
fourth,
so
as
part
of
an
effort
called
healthy
places.
B
B
There
are
some
intangibles
about
trees
and
that
we
can't
quantify
the
what
they
mean
to
us
in
our
personal
life,
the
different
roles
they
might
have
in
our
religious
practice
or
cultural
histories,
or
you
know
any
other
reason,
memories,
but
then
there's
other
things
that
are
more
measurable,
like
the
ability
to
lower
heat
and
the
better
air
quality
temperatures
that
come
from
lower
heat.
They
also
capture
rain
water
as
one
tool
in
reducing
storm
water
flooding
and
they
provide
wildlife
habitat
for
our
little
creatures.
B
C
So
why
are
we
doing
this
now?
I
think
in
some
respects
people
might
have
thought
well.
We
should
have
done
this
long
ago.
You
know
we're
already
coming
at
this
too
late
and
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
boston
and
it's
time
for
us
to
know
more
about
the
trees
that
we
have
and
have
a
game
plan
for
how
to
take
care
of
them,
how
to
protect
them
and
how
to
expand
canopy
coverage
in
the
years
to
come.
B
And
this
urban
forest,
like
I
mentioned,
happens
across
all
these
different
property
types,
and
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
call
out
what
does
that
look
like
well:
we've
got
trees
on
streets
and
plazas
and
yards
parks,
cemeteries,
university
campuses,
health
campuses,
and
you
know,
while
this
plan
is
being
led
by
the
boston
parks
department,
it
is
a
citywide
effort
and
it's
really
a
plan
for
the
entire
urban
forest.
So
you
know
this
is
an
exciting
part
about
the
project
that
it
we're
talking
about
all
these
different
locations.
It's
also
a
challenge.
B
There
are
varying
levels
of
information,
jurisdiction,
different
strategies
for
different
property
types,
maybe
different
goals,
so
on
lands
where
the
boston,
where
boston
parks
has
management
responsibilities
such
as
parks
and
city
streets.
We
can
take
more
direct
action
for
other
property
types.
This
plan
needs
to
set
goals
that
can
help
frame
a
conversation
and
form
new
policies
or
regulations
and
encourage
stewardship.
B
And
to
achieve
all
the
benefits
of
the
urban
forest
to
make
it
all
that
it
could
be,
we
need
to
work
collectively
to
care
for
or
manage
the
urban
forests.
It
takes
a
city
to
run
a
city
forest
and
we'll
spend
more
time
later
on
in
this
presentation
about
how
these
different
players
help
care
for
and
manage
the
urban
forest.
B
So
something
I
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
pretty
excited
to
get
into
some
of
the
data
and
discovery.
What
are
we
seeing
with
the
urban
forest?
So
if
this,
if
that's
what
the
urban
forest
lands
about,
if
it's
about
expanding
this
canopy,
where
do
we
start?
How
do
we
find
the
information
needed
to
understand
what's
going
on
and
where
we
could
go.
B
B
And
just
a
note,
it's
been
surprisingly
challenging
to
understand,
just
by
looking
at
data
why
things
are
happening.
The
way
they
are
like,
where
loss
is
due
to
damage
or
removal
through
development,
and
that's
why
lived
experiences,
institutional
knowledge
and
other
forms
of
information
are
so
important
to
this
project.
Actually,
some
of
our
most
important
information
and
data.
B
But
we
were
fortunate
to
have
funds
for
a
public
street
tree
inventory,
which
is
very
exciting
one
of
our
sub
consultants,
and
you
can
actually
look
at
our
whole
consultant
team
on
the
project
page.
If
you're
interested
in
learning
more
planet
geo
went
out
in
the
field
and
professional
arborists
assessed
the
conditions
of
trees
and
also
mapped
empty
pits
and
potential
planting
sites.
B
Now
that
gives
us
a
really
helpful
snapshot
of
the
state
of
street
trees
now,
and
it's
important
really
important
information
for
this
plan,
but
we
want
it
to
be
more
than
a
snapshot,
we're
working
to
find
ways
to
keep
this
information
updated,
because
an
up-to-date
inventory
will
not
only
help
us
track
progress,
but
it
will
also
help
our
tree
division
in
their
day-to-day
practices,
and
this
is
just
one
piece
of
the
urban
forest.
We
don't
have
this
sort
of
comprehensive
information
for
our
park
system.
B
We
do
have
fortunate
to
have
some
park
partners
that
do
track
some
tree
data,
but
we
also
don't
have
this
information
for
private
property
and
that's
why
it's
also
important
that
we
have
that
canopy
assessment.
We
can
at
least
look
at
canopy
coverage
from
the
aerial
vantage
point
and
look
across
all
property.
B
And
another
source
of
data
and
discovery
about
the
urban
forest
has
been
our
community
advisory
board,
60
plus
people.
We
formed
that
at
the
start
of
this
project
and
it's
pretty
interesting
with
three
different
bodies
in
it.
We've
got
the
we've
got
government
staff
in
the
intergovernmental
working
group.
B
So
what
does
the
data
show
us
some
of
the
data
if
this
project
aims
to
expand
the
canopy?
What
do
we
know
about
canopy
coverage
throughout
the
city
once
again?
Canopy
coverage
is
that
that
green
area,
the
top
the
leafs
and
the
branches
as
seen
from
above
and
if
you
look
online-
and
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
the
canopy
change
assessment
data-
you
can
also
replicate
this.
This
map.
B
You
know,
while
each
city
is
really
different
and
it
is
hard
to
draw
comparisons
due
to
their
different
histories
and
development
patterns,
it
is
always
interesting
to
see
how
boston
compares
and
we
are
conducting
peer
city
research,
so
we're
looking
at
other
cities
that
are
similar
to
boston
in
some
ways
and
looking
at
how
they
manage
their
force.
What
are
their
policies,
regulations,
practices.
B
B
And
neighborhoods
vary
widely
on
their
canopy
coverage.
There's
no
one
reason
for
this,
and
each
neighborhood
is
so
different.
Central
boston's,
landscape
or
like
the
downtown
area,
is
very
different
than
matapan's.
So
equal
coverage
is
not
the
goal.
We
want
to
grow
an
equitable
forest,
a
process
that
includes
additional
considerations
such
as
heat,
environmental
justice,
populations,
distribution
and
access
to
trees
and
more.
B
You've
got
the
neighborhood
boundaries
on
the
left
side
and
you've
got
hexagons
on
the
right
side
and
one
of
the
the
fun
and
challenging
things,
and
so
many
things
in
this
project.
Is
you
know
what
what
scale
are
we
looking
at
this
data,
for
instance,
austin
brighton
in
the
neighborhood
map?
You
know
it's
between
20
and
30
coverage,
but
then
you
look
at
the
hexagons
and
it's
actually
a
little
more
complicated
than
that.
You've
got
more
canopy
in
the
western
side
than
the
eastern
side.
B
And
generally
areas
that
had
canopy
lost
it
in
areas
that
didn't
have
as
much
gained
canopy,
but
it's
encouraging
in
some
ways
because
planting
efforts
in
neighborhoods
with
low
canopy
work
and
illustrates
that
areas
with
high
quantity,
high
canopy
need
to
be
protected,
they're
at
risk
places.
We
want
to
protect
trees,
and
so
it
really
isn't
a
matter
of
prioritizing
one
neighborhood
over
another.
It's
protecting
what
we
have
and
making
sure
to
grow
what
we
don't
have.
B
So
you
see
when
you
look
closer
than
a
city-wide
statistic:
the
picture
gets
a
little
more
complex,
there's
growth
in
some
areas
and
loss
in
others.
Some
of
the
factors
can
include
disease,
pests,
natural
processes.
They
are
living
organisms,
they
do
have
a
lifespan,
but
then
there's
also
storms,
which
is
really
tough
and
we
have
development.
You
know
people
interacting
with
trees,
we're
not
always
conducive
to
their
health,
and
then
we
can
gain
trees
and
that's
through
growth,
long-term
investment
and
new
plantings.
B
B
So
it
can
also
be
the
structures,
the
types
of
structures
we
have
on
our
properties
now
that
matters
when
we're
planning
for
the
urban
forest,
because
there's
different
degrees
of
protection
for
trees,
on
different
sorts
of
properties
in
land
uses.
For
example,
we
have
the
chapter
87
shade
tree
law,
which
looks
after
trees
in
the
public
right-of-way,
which
is
another
way
to
say
the
sun,
but
we
don't
have.
B
We
don't
have
a
tree
protection
ordinance,
for
instance,
in
place
to
regulate
private
properties.
It
also
affects
how
sites
are
designed,
how
much
space
there
is
for
healthy
growth,
how
many?
How
many
trees
are
planted
or
protected?
Who
takes
care
of
the
trees
and
the
skills
and
resources
they
have
to
care
for
the
trees?
Because
it
does
sometimes
take
some
education
or
awareness
or
even
money
to
care
for
trees?
B
And
an
example
of
how
this
can
look,
this
land
use
distribution
can
look
different
across
neighborhoods
and
why
we,
as
we
plan
through
the
urban
forest
plan,
need
to
consider
the
differences
among
neighborhoods
is,
for
instance,
mattapan
and
charlestown.
A
significantly
greater
proportion
of
matapan
is
residential,
while
charlestown
has
a
greater
percentage
of
commercial
or
industrial
operations,
and
you
know
that
once
again
can
affect
how
the
site
is
designed
and
who's
caring
for
it.
B
And
if
we're
working
towards
a
more
environmentally
just
more
equitable
force,
what
about
resident
experience
who
lives
in
areas
of
low
canopy,
for
example?
And
this
is
just
one
environmental
justice
characteristic,
but
some
areas
where
a
high
proportion
of
residents
speak
a
language
other
than
english
at
home
have
significantly
less
tree
canopy.
B
B
B
Now
this
all
made
more
challenging
by
climate
change
or
the
climate
crisis.
If
you
will
caring
for
the
forest
and
growing
it
in
an
equitable
way
that
improves
the
lives
of
residents
will
have
to
take
into
account
climate
change
and
its
effects
on
both
trees
and
residents
alike
and,
for
instance,
the
temperature
swings
of
let's
say
the
last
month.
Some
days
you
don't
you
don't
need
your
heavy
winter
coat
and
others
you
might
be
wearing
three
like
me,
and
that's
not
good
for
trees.
B
Is
it,
though,
that
can
trick
them
into
budding
and
harm
their
overall
health
when
they're
frozen,
so
just
a
few
of
the
challenges
that
with
the
force
faces,
but
the
good
news
is
that
diversifying
the
forest
will
help
the
force
become
more
resilient
to
climate
change
and,
overall
boston
is
doing
okay
in
species
diversity,
but
once
again
scale
matters,
and
you
can
actually
look
at
how
the
top
10
species
in
your
neighborhood.
We
have
a
blog
post.
That
shows
all
that
and
that's
where
it's
like
are
we
doing?
B
B
And
you
know
we
need
to
diversify,
but
what
trees
do
we
take?
Do
we
plant?
We
want
trees,
we
want
a
forest
that
doesn't
get
wiped
out
by
all
of
one
incident.
You
know
if
we
planted,
you
know
all
maples
and
something
came
along
that
loved
maples
and
we're
left
with
bare
patches
in
the
forest.
That's
not
good.
We
want
to
choose
trees
that
will
fare
better
in
the
future
and
that
means
reevaluating
what
we
currently
plant.
So
this
project
will
be
coming
out
with
species
recommendations.
B
And
size
and
age
of
trees,
we
want
diversity
there
as
well.
Now
size
is
a
very
rough
proxy
of
age
and
we
say
very
rough,
because
trees
grow
at
different
rates.
Some
trees
may
never
get
that
thick
and
so
size
wouldn't
be
a
good
predictor
of
their
age,
but
it
helps
us
as
a
starting
place
and
so
in
some
ways
boston
is
in
good
shape.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
these
establishing
trees,
though,
make
it
to
maturity,
and
that's
where
a
lot
of
our
recommendations
and
goals
will
hopefully
help
them
get
to
that
age.
B
C
D
Now
I
can
just
say
a
few
words
and
I
want
to
apologize
for
being
here
a
little
late.
Today
is
my
first
day
back
to
the
office.
I
just
got
back
from
vacation
and
I
managed
to
get
through
my
whole
vacation
and
then
slip
on
the
boat
and
either
sprain
or
tear
a
ligament
we
will
find
out
tomorrow.
When
I
go
to
the
doctor,
which
one
of
those
it
is
so
I'm
on
crutches
and
not
moving
as
efficiently
as
as
I
usually
would.
D
But
it's
good
to
be
back
really
glad
to
see
this,
and
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
folks.
So
many
of
you
have
participated,
sent
in
comments
been
reading,
newsletters
paying
attention,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
folks
for
the
high
levels
of
engagement
we've
seen
already,
and
I
think
you
know
there
are
still
opportunities
to
connect.
You
know.
D
I
think
that
the
first
part
of
this
report
is
making
sure
we
get
it
out
and
really
making
sure
that
everybody
is
aware
of
where
we
are-
and
I
want
to
note
that,
there's
a
lot
of
hard
work
involved
in
actually
moving
the
strategies
that
we'll
talk
about
and
a
lot
of
creativity
that
we'll
still
need
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
reach
all
those
goals?
So
I'm
I'm
just
really
excited
to
have
this
turnout,
150
people.
D
I
see
names
of
folks
that
I
know
from
different
neighborhoods
across
the
city,
including
where
I
live
now
in
dorchester
and
where
I
grew
up
in
roxbury,
and
I
know
that
there's
just
a
lot
of
investment
around
these
issues.
I
know
that
many
people
who
I've
seen
in
other
council
meetings
and
other
spaces
really
advocating
for
trees
so
really
glad
to
see
so
much
engagement,
and
you
know
really.
D
This
is
an
important
part,
an
important
milestone
around
getting
getting
the
plan
out
and
then
there's
also
all
the
work
we'll
need
to
do
collaboratively
to
to
move
things
forward.
You
know
we
don't
get
to
get
be
able
to
get
into
all
of
the
details,
but
I
think
that
there's
some
of
the
things
that
folks
have
already
expressed
where
we
could
do
more
work
with
other
cabinets
and
start
to
have
some
other
conversations,
particularly
around
tree
health.
C
This
maggie
mentioned
this
early
on
in
the
presentation
that
urban
forest
is
the
responsibility
of
everyone
across
the
city.
So
this
is
a
city-led
project
that
we
know
when
we're
talking
about
trees,
we're
talking
about
trees,
on
public
property,
we're
talking
about
trees,
on
private
property,
institutional
property
and
each
of
those
has
different
stewards.
Sometimes
the
stewards
overlap,
but
sometimes
they
don't.
C
The
city
and
state
agencies
have
responsibility
for
large
sections
of
the
urban
forest,
but
60
of
the
urban
forest
is
on
private
property
and
thus
is
managed
more
closely
tied
to
the
preferences
of
the
individuals
who
manage
those
properties
and
then
institutional
land
holders
like
universities,
hospitals,
play
a
significant
role
in
this
as
well
and,
as
maggie
said,
early
on
tree
loss
is
an
event.
It
happens
in
an
instant
when
a
tree
is
cut
down
or
when
it
is
through.
E
C
Does
that
mean
it
means
caring
for
and
stewarding
trees?
It's
everything
from
sighting
the
tree
properly
planting
it
in
the
right
location,
making
sure
it
has
sufficient
soil
volume
to
be
able
to
grow
the
kind
of
root
structure
that
it
needs
to
thrive
and
stay
alive
for
a
long
time,
but
it
also
is
about
urban
behavior
and
making
sure
that
we
don't
do
things
for
short-term
interests
that
negatively
impact
the
long-term
gains
of
a
tree.
So
that
can
be
you
know
letting
dogs
use
tree
pets
as
bathrooms.
C
C
And
complementing
the
work
that
we're
doing
are
projects
by
nonprofits
and
community
groups
across
the
city,
so
this
is
work
that
people
have
been
doing
for
a
long
long
time
long
before
the
city
started
doing
this
urban
forest
plan.
So
we
thank
everybody
for
it
for
that
work
and
know
that
there's
a
lot
more
that
can
be
done
with
city
support
and
with
collaboration
between
the
city
and
these
partners.
So
sometimes
the
community
groups
are
doing
hands-on
planting
work
other
times.
C
Non-Profits
are
really
being
the
advocates
for
tree
protection
as
part
of
site
development
projects,
informing
neighbors,
making
sure
the
city
is
aware,
when
sometimes
we
see
trees
that
are
damaged
by
construction
projects,
alerting
us
to
those
activities
all
of
it's
important
and
just
listed
here
on
the
slide
or
a
couple
of
the
organizations
that
are
doing
this
kind
of
great
work.
It's
by
no
means
comprehensive.
C
When
we
think
about
institutions
again,
these
are
large
land
holders
and
institutions
often
have
significant
tracts
of
canopy
land
in
the
city
of
boston.
Many
of
the
times
these
lands
are
managed
in
ways
that
sustain
existing
trees
and
often
they're.
You
know
they
have
some
of
the
best
care
of
of
any
urban
forest
in
the
city,
but
there
are
other
times
when
these
these
woodlands
and
urban
forest
areas
are
not
not
retained,
and
they
you
know
they.
C
And
then
significantly,
you
know
there
are
individual
residents
who
have
a
hand
in
managing
caring
for
sustaining
and
growing
the
urban
canopy.
So
not
everyone
has
a
tree
in
their
yard
and
at
this
point
in
time
not
everyone
has
a
tree
on
their
street
in
front
of
where
they
live,
but
when
they
do
there
are
steps
we
can
take
to
steward
those
trees.
B
Thank
you
liza.
I
won't
read
all
the
words
I
promise
on
the
slides
I'll,
give
you
a
few
seconds
to
digest
them
in
just
a
moment.
So
we
have
four
overarching
goals
for
this
project
and
they
are
they
everything
that
we
come
up
with
the
recommendations
and
strategies
that
you'll
help
us
revise.
That
will
all
hopefully
plug
back
into
these
goals,
and
so
the
first
one
equity
first
sounds
like
a
great
one
right.
What
does
it
mean?
B
B
So
that
means
that,
like
you
know,
how
are
we
developing
the
tree
care
workforce?
How,
where
are
we
planting
or
caring
for?
Where
are
we
prioritizing
planting
and
care
for
trees?
How
are
we
conducting
outreach
and
how
are
we
supporting
existing
community
work?
Those
are
just
a
few
things
I'll
just
pause
here
for
a
few
seconds
this
this,
oh,
this
will
also
all
be
available
online
after
the
meeting
today.
C
C
It
is
very
hard
to
hire
for
the
positions
that
we
have
and
we
need
many
many
more
people
doing
this
kind
of
work
in
order
to
achieve
what
we're
setting
out
to
achieve
here
and
part
of
the
way
that
we
can
be
successful
is
through
improving
data
sharing,
better
communication,
so
that
you
know
this
is
as
you've
been
saying.
This
is
something
that
is
a
shared
responsibility.
B
And
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
work
we
do
is
based
on
community
driven
processes.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
community
input
informs
the
work
that
is
done
and
we're
aware
that
there
is
a
desire
for
better
communication,
clear
communication,
better
explanation
of
what
decisions
were
made
and
why
and
pathways
for
input.
And
so,
as
we
developed
this
urban
forestry
program,
we're
thinking
about
how
can
the
community
have
an
active
role
in
the
way
the
urban
forest
is
shaped,
and
especially
since
they're?
B
You
know,
the
urban
force
across
happens
across
all
property
types.
So
you
know
it's
one
thing
to
also
think
about
how
do
people
participate
in
governance?
But
what
about
other
types
of
situations?
So
you
know?
How
can
you
know
we
be
transparent
with
our
communication
and
accessible
with
our
communication
about
what's
happening
with
the
urban
forest,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
everyone
has
access
to
the
best
information
and
has
the
right
tools
to
care
for
and
manage
the
urban
forest
and
advocate
for
their
desires.
C
Just
let
so
goal
number
four
ensure
that
trees
are
prioritized
and
valued
so
increase
awareness
and
buy-in
regarding
the
importance
of
trees
in
boston
across
the
public
and
private
sector.
So
this
is
essentially
saying
that
trees
need
to
be
valued
in
all
decision
making
in
all
types
of
work
that
we
pursue.
C
In
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
be
successful
again
in
retaining
the
trees,
we
have
allowing
new
plantings
to
grow,
to
maturity
and
not
see
trees
that
are
in
existence
now
as
easily
replaceable.
We
know
that
they're
not.
We
know
that
it
takes
decades
for
new
plantings
to
achieve
the
same
level
of
services
that
mature
trees
provide.
So
we
need
to
treat
them
with
the
care
that
they
deserve
so
that
they
are
retained
and
can,
by
the
time
they
finally
reach
maturity,
deliver
all
of
the
benefits
that
that
that
they
can.
C
C
C
We
want
to
see
projects
that
have
shared
goals,
work
through
the
process
of
protecting
and
expanding
the
canopy
together,
not
see
it
as
we
we
have.
You
know
if
we
want
to
make
a
roadway
improvement
project
that
shouldn't
come
at
the
cost
of
trees.
If
we
want
to
expand
housing
that
shouldn't
come
at
the
cost
of
trees,
we
need
to
look
for
ways
to
have
both,
because
it's
important
that
we
have
both.
B
B
B
Yeah
so
target
tree
tree
planting
and
care
in
equity.
Focused
areas
is
one
of
the
top
responses
for
something
that
people
are
excited
about,
something
that
seems
people
maybe
are
a
little
less
excited
about
which
I
I
don't
blame.
You
is
create
an
urban
forest
plan
website,
but
other
pieces
include
a
proactive
tree
care
program,
focus
on
protection
maturities,
that's
all
very
interesting,
but
something
that
maybe
your
thinking
is
hard
to
implement,
successfully
adjustments
to
the
development
process.
Yes,
that
is
a
sticky
one.
B
C
So
one
of
the
pieces
of
the
urban
forest
plan
project
is
to
come
up
with
priority
planting
areas
using
the
data
and
the
input
and
the
analysis
that
that
we've
done
over
the
course
of
the
planning
project
and
make
sure
that
we
come
out
of
this
plan
with
an
idea
of,
if
we
have
you
know
so
much
money
to
spend
on
whether
it's
street
tree
plantings
or
other
projects
going
forward.
Sometimes
it's
a
community
group
has
access
to
a
grant
and
they
want
to
plant
some
trees.
C
C
Okay,
if
we
have
to
be
strategic
and
roll
this
out,
because
we
can
only
put
so
many
trees
in
the
ground
each
year
as
the
parks
department,
with
the
funding
we
have
and
the
staffing
we
have
to
track
those
contracts
and
make
sure
the
trees
are
cared
for,
and
we
can
only
do
so
much
work
on
the
back
end
to
water.
Those
new
plantings.
E
C
Forth
we
have
to
be
quite
informed
and
thoughtful,
but
and
this
prioritization
work
is
still
in
process.
So
this
is,
you
know
something
that
will
be
refined,
as
the
plan
document
is
developed
a
little
bit
further,
but
I'll
share
some
of
the
current
thinking
across
this
year.
What
you're
seeing
here
is
charlestown-
and
these
are
representative
maps
of
the
kind
of
analysis
that
we
can
incorporate
into
a
prioritization
process.
C
We
can
look
at
sections
of
the
city
that
have
less
than
10
canopy
coverage.
If
you
remember
back
to
the
beginning
that
that
there
are
some
neighborhoods
entire
neighborhoods
that
average
out
to
have
less
than
10
percent,
but
then
within
neighborhoods
there
are
in
almost
every
part
of
the
city.
There
are
pieces
of
those
neighborhoods
that
don't
yet
have
10
so
identifying
those
understanding,
environment,
the
distribution
of
environmental
justice
populations,
which
again
much
of
the
city,
is
considered
an
environmental
justice
population
area.
C
But
there
are
some
areas
where
we
have
a
greater
density
of
environmental
justice
criteria,
overlapping.
We
can
look
at
heat
event
hours,
which
is
an
analysis.
That's
coming
out
of
the
heat
resilience
plan
and
understand
where
the
hottest
parts
of
the
city
are
during
the
day
time
during
the
night
time
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
contribute
cooling
those
areas
through
canopy.
C
We
can
look
at
the
historically
redlined
areas
and
make
sure
we're
understanding
if
we're
doing
what
we
can
to
address
the
disinvestment
of
decades
ago.
That
has
continued
through
time,
and
then
we
have
to
look
at
feasibility
of
planting
sites.
You
know
what
is
it
that
is
going
to
make
it
possible
to
put
trees
in
some
parts
of
the
city.
C
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
if
a
tree
is
planted
in
an
area
that
it's
going
to
have
enough
water
that
comes
into
that
tree
pit
for
it
to
be,
you
know
for
it
to
survive,
and
if
we
can't
make
the
tree
that's
big
enough,
they
aren't
wide
enough.
They
won't
collect
enough
sidewalk
runoff
to
give
the
tree
sufficient
water
to
survive,
we'll
also
be
looking
at
land
use,
which
maggie
touched
on
earlier
in
open
space.
These
places,
where
some
parts
of
the
city
we
may
have
an
easier
time,
adding
trees.
C
C
C
But
they
can
also
be
helpful
for
understanding
the
value
of
the
trees
that
we
already
have.
You
know
there
may
be
existing
trees
and
some
of
these
places
that
are
priority
planting
areas
and
in
those
cases
those
can
become
priority
protection
areas.
You
know
the
places
where
we
have
a
tree
already
that
we
should
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
that
tree
stays.
C
C
E
C
I'm
still
muted
yeah
well,
this
is
interesting,
but
also
you
know
not
unexpected.
Let's
focus
our
planting
priorities
around
areas
with
low
canopy
coverage.
Absolutely
that's
where,
where
we
should
be
focusing
areas
of
high
heat,
it's
interesting
to
see
some
of
the
ones.
I
guess.
Maybe
we
set
up
the
layers
of
the
pole
so
that
the
most
popular
choices
were
at
the
top.
As
you
get
to
the
bottom,
those
become
you
know
less
of
a
priority,
but,
as
we
know,
all
of
these
sites
contribute.
C
So
we
won't
ignore
opportunities
to
plant
trees,
whether
it's
on
campuses
or
residential
lots,
parking,
lots
or
parks.
But
we
see
in
here
that
people
see
that
these
those
at
the
top
of
the
list,
low
canopy
areas,
high
heat,
environmental
justice
communities,
formerly
run
lined
areas
and
empty
sidewalk
pits
are
are
the
top
priorities.
B
B
So,
just
to
recap,
as
we
mentioned
a
bunch
of
things,
if
you're
interested,
what
can
you
do
right
now?
What
do
what's
available?
What
actions
can
you
take?
Well,
everything
from
trying
to
contact
your
local
neighborhood
group
doesn't
have
to
be
an
explicitly
environmental
group.
Maybe
someone
has
you
know
some
ideas
or
programming
going
on
that
relates
to
trees.
B
We
also
have
urban
wild
cleanup
days,
which
are
those
kind
of
those
natural
areas
that
that
we
operate.
We
have
sometimes
have
some
volunteer
days
there
you
can
also-
and
this
would
be
really
helpful,
submitted
through
case
on
your
phone
through
the
app
or
you
can
call,
or
we
have
a
website
and
really,
if
you
see
something
funky
going
on
with
a
park
tree
or
a
street
tree
a
public
tree
of
any
kind
and
you're
kind
of
worried
about
it.
B
B
There
are
other
things
I
like
to
say
that
if
you
can
touch
a
tree,
you
can
help
a
tree
or
hurt
a
tree.
So
a
few
things
that
may
you
could
help
right
away
with
is
keeping
dogs
away
from
the
pits
you
may
have
seen
that
photo
earlier
on
about
how
to
maintain
trees
in
a
tough
environment.
You
see
kind
of
that
rotting
going
around
the
base
of
the
tree.
That's
like
the
dog
urine
eating
away
at
the
kind
of
vascular,
circulatory
system
of
a
tree,
and
it
can
kill
young
trees
pretty
quickly.
B
You
know
keeping
trash,
keeping
pits
clean,
keeping
that's
also
helpful,
and
if
you
avoid
stepping
in
the
pits,
sometimes
when
you
see
all
the
roots
really
to
the
top
of
the
pit,
that's
them
trying
to
like
find
air
the
soil
volume
we
need
that
kind
of.
We
need
the
air
pockets
in
there.
The
roots
need
that
and
every
time
we
step
in
a
pit
squishes
the
soil
down
more
and
more,
and
if
you
have
the
ability
to
do
so
or
you
have
the
resources
to
do
so.
B
We
also
welcome
help
watering
young
trees,
newly
planted
trees,
do
have
a
warranty
period
of
two
years
where
we
water
them,
but
sometimes
it's
a
particularly
tough
year
or
maybe
the
tree
is
no
longer
in
the
warranty
period
and
it
could
really
use
some
assistance.
So
if
you
have
the
ability
that's
great
too,
and
you
can
learn
more
about
how
to
help
trees
or
ask
for
planting-
or
you
know
in
some
cases
a
healthy
street
tree
if
that
needs
to
be
removed,
that
has
to
go
through
a
tree
hearing
process.
B
B
So,
if
you're
interested
here's
some
more
resources
that
are
available
to
talk
about
the
urban
forest,
how
to
get
involved
other
projects
going
on
in
the
city-
and
I
do
want
to
direct
your
attention
to
the
very
last
line
employment.
We
do
have
two
open
positions
within
our
tree
division
as
of
last
week
and
that's
a
research
analyst
and
a
general
tree
maintenance
for
person,
and
I
listed
if
you
wanted
to
search
our
career
center
website
that
gentry
make
for
that's
the
title
of
it
in
that
database.
B
H
Hey
good
evening,
everybody
thank
you
for
holding
this
forum.
It's
been
very
informative
and
it's
great
to
see
this
group
of
people
together,
I'm
representing
to
the
dorchester
avenue
vision
committee,
we're
a
committee
of
residents
that
formed
last
year
to
improve
dorchester
avenue,
which
has
been
a
historically
underserved
it's
about
50
years
behind
the
curve
in
terms
of
development
and
beautification,
and
one
of
our
first
priorities
was
to
get
more
trees
planted
along
the
avenue,
specifically
between
columbia,
road
and
freeport
street.
H
B
Thank
you,
michael.
That's,
actually,
a
really
informative
question
for
everyone
here.
So
michael's
talking
about
getting
permission
from
a
butters
is
when
we
plant
street
trees-
and
let's
say
it's
going
to
be
a
new
pit,
we're
going
to
cut
into
the
sidewalk.
We
really
want
to
make
sure
to
get
agreement
from
the
budding
property
owners,
because
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
tree
isn't
kind
of
taken
down
or
maltreated
because
it
wasn't
desired
there.
B
So
that's
kind
of
what
that
means,
and
I
think
you're
doing
all
the
right
steps.
Michael
for
these,
for
kind
of
this
broad
planting
recommendation
more
than
just
one
site-
and
I
recommend
you
keep
in
contact
with
our
tree-
warden
max
ford
diamond
who
directs
the
planting
and
maintenance
of
our
trees.
I
So
we
have
a
number
of
people
in
our
neighborhood
who
are
interested
in
trees,
but
we
have
not
harnessed
the
energy
there
and
I
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
do
something
for
arbor
week
or
our
day,
even
scheduling
a
walk
in
the
park
or
our
tour,
the
street
trees.
If
there
was
someone
to
to
help
us
figure
out
an
event,
we
just
need
someone
to
take
a
walk
with
us
and
say
see.
This
is
what's
happening.
This
tree
is
doing
well.
This
tree
is
doing
poorly
here's.
I
D
That
I
mean.
I
think
that
the
the
reality
is
two
things
we
haven't
always
had:
the
resources
to
hire
people,
and
even
when
we
do
have
the
resources
to
hire
people,
we
have
a
pretty
hard
time
attracting
them
to
live
in
the
city
of
boston.
I
know
of
an
instance
where
we
got
a
great
candidate.
Even
it
was
a
person
of
color
that
has
worked
on
trees
and
they
were
not
willing
to
move
from
worcester
to
boston,
given
the
cost
of
living
in
boston.
D
So
I
think
that,
right
now
our
focus
is
really
on
actually
growing.
Some
of
our
own
we're
launching
a
program
in
may,
which
is
based
on
a
green
jobs
program
in
philadelphia
called
power
core.
You
can
look
up,
they
do
really
great
work,
they
have
an
urban
forest
training
program
and
they
specifically
focus
on
young
adults
18
to
30
in
philadelphia,
predominantly
black
and
latinx
young
folks,
who
do
not
usually
get
tracked
to
be
arborists.
D
They
do
not
usually
hear
anything
about
tree
maintenance,
and
so
they
do
not
know
that
that
is
a
career
path,
that's
open
to
them,
and
so
that
program
will
launch
in
may
and
that's
going
to
give
us
some
more
folks
who
have
the
ability
to
train
and
do
some
support
on
it.
But
I
want
to
be
honest
that
we've
got
some
structural
challenges
here
to
address
these
things.
I
know
people
have
talked
about
getting
trees.
I
finally
got
my
tree
pit
after
three
and
a
half
years
of
waiting,
I
woke
up.
D
They
came
a
little
bit
before
seven
and
I
was
about
to
get
upset
that
somebody
was
drilling
before
seven
am,
but
then
I
saw
that
it
was
people
drilling
my
tree
pit,
and
I
said
I
do
not
want
to
send
them
away.
So,
yes,
you're
10
minutes
earlier
than
what
you
were
supposed
to
do
under
the
isd
regulations
for
a
jackhammer,
but
I'm
going
to
keep
my
mouth
shut
and
be
thankful.
The
tree
is
finally
coming.
So
I
do.
D
I
just
want
to
be
honest
that,
as
folks
are
raising
this,
that
there
are
real
structural
challenges.
We
are
doing
our
best
to
address
them
and
we
are
coming
up
with
some
real
solutions
for
them
and
they
will
not
all
manifest
tomorrow,
and
I
know
some
of
you
guys
have
been
part
of
the
one
percent
for
parks
movement.
D
That
requires
a
level
of
training
that,
quite
frankly,
I
even
don't
have,
but
I
do
think
point
taken
that
as
much
as
we
can
empower
people
to
do
what
dorchester
is
doing
and
they
are
literally
doing
it.
In
my
neighborhood,
I
live
off
of
dorchester
ave
between
columbia,
road
and
freeport
street,
and
I
know
how
few
trees
we
are.
We
are
literally
in
a
heat
island.
D
D
I
E
J
B
Sure
yeah
in
the
the
website,
you
know
some
of
the
formatting
of
our
website.
Sometimes
it's
annoying.
It's
a
drawer
that
you
click
on
and
it
should
have
in
parentheses,
like
the
acronym
on
who
who
from
which
department
is
there
and
we've
got
city
departments
but
and
we've
got
authorities
like
boston
housing,
authority
and
boston,
water
and
sewer
commission.
But
we
don't
have
a
state
on
there
but
see
collaborating
partners.
We
do
have
other
big
organizations
as
well
on
that
one.
J
And
while
I
have
the
thank
you
while
I
have
the
floor,
yeah,
the
state
dcan,
for
example,
does
projects
in
this
city.
I
know
dcr
is
more
the
park
agency,
but
there
are
other
state
entities
that
would
be
good
to
get
on
board
and
wondered
if
you
could
elaborate
on
the.
I
think
it
was
goal
four
make
adjustments
to
the
development
process
that
support
retention
of
existing
large
trees.
C
Yeah
I'll
jump
in
on
that
one
and
and
then
others
can
add
as
well.
I
know
that
there
are
a
few
different
paths
that
that
need
to
be
followed
in
order
to
see
a
change
in
how
trees
are
accounted
for
and
protected
and
expanded
to
the
development
review
process.
Some
of
that
may
be
through
new
ordinance
and
regulations
right,
new
rules
that
people
need
to
follow
and
those
rules
could
get
fit
into
the
development
rule
process
like
into
article
80
or
small
project
review.
C
But
there
are
also
things
that
can
be
done
now,
which
can
be
a
process
of
asking,
and
I
know
the
bpda
is
doing
this.
So
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
it's
asking
developers
to
do
a
tree
survey
to
account
for
the
trees
that
are
on
their
property
to
be
clear
up
front,
that
we
want
to
know
what
trees
are
being
taken
down.
C
And
why
and
if
site,
plant
changes
can
be
made
to
better
protect
trees
and
then
to
talk
about
how
to
mitigate
tree
loss,
both
in
terms
of
stem
count
of
how
many
trees
are
being
replanted
and
how
many
inches
are
not
being
accounted
for
in
the
replanting
of
new
trees
right.
So
if
somebody
takes
down
a
20
inch
tree
that
replants
a
three
inch
tree,
there's
17
inches
that
need
to
also
be
you
know,
that's
just
of
the
trunk,
never
mind
all
the
canopy
right.
C
So
these
are
considerations
that
are
being
talked
about
now
and
integrated
into
project
reviews,
but
they
are
not
yet
rules.
They
are
not
yet
requirements
and
they
are
not
yet
regulations.
So
until
we
have
things
that
are
rules,
it's
still
more
about
advocacy
and
education
and-
and
you
know,
encouraging
people
to
do
the
right
thing.
So
both
of
those
things
need
to
happen.
G
F
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
I
I
want
to
thank
for
this
great
presentation
and
for
all
the
cab
members
who've
been
doing
the
work.
I
haven't
been
keeping
track,
and
this
is
just
really
exciting
and
and
great
to
look
at.
I
have
just
a
few
comments,
so
in
looking
at
the
planting
priorities
that
you
presented,
I
was
thinking
a
lot
about
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
a
lot
of
canopy
cover
and
many
times
it's,
because
there's
that
hostile
environment
like
the
tree
pits
are
bad.
The
use
does
isn't
conducive
for
tree
health.
F
So
I
my
question
is
around
how
to
ensure
that
the
planting
focus
in
those
areas
yield
those
long-term
outcomes
that
you're
looking
for,
like,
for
example,
will
come
with
better
than
just
the
standard
contract
care
of
the
two-year
you
know
replacement,
because
if
not,
it
might
not
yield
the
outcome
that
you
want
and
would
the
plan
come
with
more
money?
You
know
to
either
enhance
soil
structure
or
widen
the
pit.
F
C
C
So
that
we're
you
know,
plugging
the
right
holes
with
with
those
new
regulations
and
rules
for
for
everyone
to
follow,
and
we
I
saw
in
the
chat,
there's
a
lot
in
the
chat,
and
I
haven't
seen
all
of
it
yet.
But
somebody
said:
can
we
copy
what's
been
done
in
cambridge?
And
there
are
you
know
it's
it's
helpful
to
see
examples
of
how
other
municipalities
have
done
tree
ordinances
and
we're
certainly
we'll
want
to
learn
from
from
what
other
municipalities
have
done,
so
that
we
can
replicate
the
things
that
work.
C
Well
and
learn
from
the
things
that
maybe
aren't
working
as
well.
I
think
there
was
your
first
question.
Marie
was
a
good
one
about.
So
if
a
place
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
trees,
it
must
be
because
the
conditions
are
tough
and
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
making
sure
that
new
plantings
aren't
just
being
put
into
the
same
conditions
and
not
do
well?
I
think
that
that
was
a
summary
of
that
and
it's
a
great
point.
C
I
think
that
we
can't
just
some
of
the
reasons
why
we
don't
have
trees
in
those
areas
is
because
the
land
use
is
not.
You
know,
large
industrial
areas
that
that
have
not
prioritized
trees,
so
there's
plenty
of
space
to
put
trees,
but
the
uses
there
have
been
focused
on
you
know
the
the
property
has.
E
C
I'm
also
hopeful
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
both
with
our
cab
and
with
partners
who
are
interested
in
adopt-a-tree
type
programs
that
we
can
build
a
constituency
around
tree
care
that
goes
beyond
what
the
parks
department
can
provide.
So,
yes,
we
can
do
a
couple
years
of
watering,
but
we
know
that
that's
not
enough
and
there's
examples
in
east
boston,
for
example,
of
community
groups
taking
on
watering
and
making
that
a
priority
and
a
community
activity
that
that
people
are
still
a
part
of.
C
B
F
K
C
Okay,
I
think
maggie's
contact
information
was
shared
as
part
of
this,
and
you
know
put
my
email
in
the
chat
as
well.
If
they
are
in
you
know,
any
trees
to
be
planted
in
parks
or
on
in
sidewalks
street
trees
should
can
be
coordinated
directly
through
us
and
we'll
we'll
explain
that
to
you.
It's
probably
easiest
to
explain
it
via
email.
If
you're
looking
at
a
private
property,
then
you
don't
need
to
be
seeking
approval
through
the
parks
department
for
for
those
kinds
of
plantings.
Unless
it's
a
park.
D
And
I
do
want
to
raise
that.
We
really
really
really
need
your
help
looking
at
where
we
can
plant
that
are
not
in
parks
and
that's
not
because
we
don't
believe
in
park
trees,
but
we
actually
don't
have
a
real
challenge,
planting
in
parks,
but
we
have
a
challenge,
is
planting
beyond
parks,
and
so
I
just
want
to
flag
that
if
folks
know
of
private
land,
where
you
think
a
tree
can
be
planted,
that
actually
would
add
capacity
that
we
don't
have.
D
I
think
the
other
layer
is
in
terms
of
street
trees,
particularly
you
know
with
pits.
I
think
people
have
been
raising.
There
are
some
systemic
challenges,
particularly
because
there's
a
lot
of
infrastructure
underneath
our
streets.
It's
not
a
lot
of
just
like
it's,
not
a
lot
of
like
just
areas
that
are
are
just
you
know,
dirt,
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
underneath
there,
and
so
in
general,
we're
not
going
to
encourage
you
to
do
that.
Just
because
you
might
accidentally
like
cut
into
a
water
line,
or
you
know
an
electric.
D
K
Okay,
the
follow-up
question
is,
I
mean
I
live
in
the
back
bay.
There
must
be
thousands
of
dogs
and
using
the
trees
on
the
sides
of
the
streets
on
commonwealth
avenue
and
along
the
esplanade,
and
I
don't
think
those
owners
would
take
too
kindly
to
me
telling
them
asking
them
even
to
not
have
their
dog
use
a
tree.
So
is
there
any
way
that
trees
can
be
protected
from
dogs
or
having
dog
parks
that
people
would
tend
to
go
to
instead
of
doing
their
business
around
trees?.
D
D
I
mean
we
could
put
up
like
small
things,
but
I
have
not
seen
them
necessarily
change
people's
practices
and
I
think
the
other
layer
is.
We
have
to
be
careful
because
you
know
some
people
have
said
like
what
do
we
have?
What
about
widening
sidewalks
and
one
of
the
tensions
is
roads
versus
sidewalks?
D
Also,
there
are
some
places
where
we
cannot
plant
trees,
because
we
need
the
sidewalks
to
continue
to
be
ada
compliant,
which
I
always
care
about.
As
someone
who
comes
from
a
family
with
a
degenerative
disease
that
had
most
of
my
the
seniors
in
my
family
in
motorized
wheelchairs
that
are
really
hard
to
get
around,
and
I
am
especially
cognizant
right
now,
while
I'm
on
on
on
crutches
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
our
sidewalks
are
accessible
for
folks
who
have
mobility
challenges
so
we're
we
are
trying
to
to
shift
that.
D
Maybe
we
could
create
a
little
marker
that
would
remind
people
that
I
you
know.
I
do
sometimes
wonder
if
they
think
that
the
p
doesn't
affect
them.
But
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
they
people
do
that.
In
my
front
yard
and
like
I
have
a
section
where
I
can't
get
any
flowers
to
grow
because
folks
think
that
their
dogs
are
watering,
my
flowers
when
that's
not
what's
happening,
so
I
think
you
know
psas
we're
we're
open
to
trying
things,
and
what
would
be
really
great
is
if
there
are
people
on
this
line.
D
K
L
I
guess
a
little
a
question
kind
of
following
up
on
mariama's
comments.
So
where
are
we
in
terms
of
this
year's
budget
process
in
terms
of
parks,
department,
specifically,
but
also
other
things
that
might
relate
to
this?
Specifically
thinking
about
trees,
but
entry
maintenance
and
the
other
thing
was
in
terms
of
all
the
money
that
the
city
is
getting
the
federal
money
as
part
of
the
crowbar
relief
packages?
L
L
D
I
can
at
least
tell
you
that
we've
made
the
pitch
and
the
budget
process
is
in
full
swing.
There
were
a
series
of
sort
of
open
spaces
for
people
to
share
their
thoughts
and
budget
priorities.
I
know
folks,
you
know,
showed
up
in
mass
around
crane's
ledge.
One
of
the
things
that
didn't
happen
is
a
lot
of.
There
wasn't
a
lot
of
engagement
from
our
most
our
neighborhoods
that
have
the
lowest
level
of
canopy.
So
I
wish
that
had
happened
more,
but
I
think
that
there
will
still
be
pros.
D
There
will
still
be
opportunities
to
engage
in
the
upcoming
budget
process,
and
maybe
one
of
the
things
we
can
do
is-
I
think
many
of
you
are
on
our
email
list.
If
you're
not
please
go
ahead
and
sign
up,
we
can
at
least
make
sure
that
we
send
out
so
that
you're,
aware
of
when
those
upcoming
budget
conversations
are
happening.
L
And
in
terms
of
does
anyone
any
of
you,
you
folks
have
any
sense
of
what's
happening
with
the
money.
Aside
from
this
year's,
you
know
the
city's
budget,
but
the
money
that
the
city
sort
of
has.
I
was
in
the
globe.
They
said
about,
200
million
dollars
still
has
not
been
allocated
as
of
yet
so
I
don't
know
if
any
there's
any
thought
about
using
that
for
some
of
these
goals
or.
F
D
A
Hi,
I
just
I
put
some
of
this
in
the
chat,
but
I
just
want
to
there's
a
couple
things
that
concern
me.
We
have
to
equally
pay
attention
to
increasing
street
trees
and
trees
in
people's
yards.
That's
critical
as
equally
critical
as
stopping
the
cutting,
and
I'm
like
a
broken
record
about
this.
Stopping
the
clear
cutting
of
woodlands
for
development
woodlands
play
a
different
role
from
street
trees:
woodlands.
When,
when
mature
trees
are
clumped
together,
they
sequester
way
more
carbon
the
job.
They
do
works
differently.
A
A
You
know
what
the
work
is
going
to
be
to
maintain
the
urban
wilds.
The
other
thing
is
urban.
Wilds
are
already
protected
and
through
the
con,
if
they're
owned
by
the
conservation
commission,
it's
the
land-
that's
not
already
in
the
conservation
commission
that
we
have
to
worry
about
that.
That's
what's
unprotected
privately
owned
land
that
is
in
danger
of
being
clear-cut.
A
Anything
that's
already
in
conservation
is
safe.
So
you
know,
even
the
idea
of
planting
trees
on
private
land
is
a
great
idea
as
long
as
somebody's
not
gonna,
eventually
some
private
land
they
can
cut
them
down
whenever
they
want,
unless
there's
an
ordinance
preventing
it.
So
I
I
know
I
say
this
on
every
meeting
every
time,
but
I
just
yeah.
A
Protecting
these
large
groups
of
trees
is
as
important
as
reducing
building
emissions
and
all
of
that
and
I'm
not
taking
away
from
the
importance
of
street
trees.
That's
that's
also
important,
but
anyway,
let's,
let's
not,
let's
put
them,
as
you
know,
equally
important.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
ramble.
B
Now
it's
good
to
see
you
pat,
I
hate.
I
agree.
Paul
and
nick
are
amazing
and
they
have
they're
great
to
work
with
I'm
very
lucky
and
they
have
you
know
nick
joined
only
recently,
but
paul
has
been
on
the
core
project
team
for
the
urban
forest
plan.
Since
the
beginning
and
as
power
core
has
kind
of
developed
and
the
green
jobs
work
has
developed,
he
has
been
a
part
of
those
conversations,
but
things
still
are
continuing
and
to
build.
B
I
think
you
get
exactly
the
challenge
with
this
project
is
pay
attention
to
everything:
yeah
like
street
trees,
private
property
parks,
it's
like
everyone,
and
that's
where
it's
like
really
important,
that
we
have
all
these
different
players,
because
that
will
help
keep
the
focus
on
all
those
different
things.
So
I
totally
agree.
We
need
to
look
at
it
all
and
there's
just
different
functions
that
different
trees
serve
and
it's
important
to
look
at
all.
Those
different
things
make
sure
we're
protecting
at
all.
Yeah
agreed
totally.
M
M
M
You
know
how
much
of
this
private
land,
where
60
of
all
of
our
trees
live,
is
managed
or
owned
by
the
city,
because
if,
if
a
lot
of
the
trees
that
were
losing
could
be
saved
because
the
city
either
owns
them
or
manages
them,
it
seems
crazy
to
me
that
we
would
wait
for
an
ordinance
to
be
finished
before
putting
out
some
sort
of
moratorium
on
the
cutting
of
private
trees
that
are
owned
or
managed
by
the
city.
I
think
a
moratorium.
M
M
While
we
do
that-
and
I
I
think
that
going
after
or
targeting
the
trees
that
sit
on
boston,
land,
boston,
managed
or
bpda
owned
land
should
be,
you
know
given
like
can't
cut
them
down
until
this
ordinance
is
done
sort
of
ruling.
I
don't
know
how
you
do
that,
but
I
was
I'm
curious,
but
the
parks
support
that
effort,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
people
that
would
initiate
it
and
and
get
the
ball
rolling,
but
with
the
parks
support
us
on
that.
M
C
And
thank
you
for
raising
that,
and
you
know
it's
important
to
continue
to
raise
it.
We
know
that
this
is
an
issue.
That
is
it's
an
issue
now
right.
There
are
projects
where
this
is
an
issue
now.
So,
while
we
don't
have
an
easy
answer
or
a
straightforward
answer,
you
know
maggie
and
I
can't
sit
here
and
say:
yes,
that's
what
we're
gonna
do
or
no
that's
never
going
to
happen,
but
it's
important
to
raise
the
issue
and
continue
to
put
it
on
the
table,
and
so
thank
you
for
doing
that.
N
Thank
you,
everybody.
Thank
you
so
much
for
what
you've
done
and
thank
you
to
the
over
150
people.
Who've
come
to
this
meeting
because
we
care
about
trees.
I
have
a
direct
action
question,
that
is
to
say
when
we
see
a
group
about
to
cut
down
trees
on
state
land
on
city
land
on
street
trees,
developers
sometimes
just
go
right
for
them.
Whom
do
we
call?
Not?
All
of
us
have
ryan
wood's
direct
number.
So
who
do
we
call
to
make
this
bad
thing?
N
C
It
would
depend
on
where
that
tree
is,
but
let's
say
what
you're
seeing
is
a
tree
being
a
tree,
a
sidewalk
tree,
a
street
tree
being
cut
down,
which
I'm,
I
think,
is
probably
what
I'm
guessing.
That's
what
you're
referring
to.
I
think,
if
you
don't
have
max
ford,
diamond's
contact
info
he's
a
good
resource
for
someone
to
reach
out
to
right
away,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
that
is
available.
Some
people
have
permission
to
remove
street
trees.
C
C
B
You
know,
thank
you,
everyone
for
a
great
q,
a
session,
and
I
know
there
will
be
more
there's
more
conversation
to
come,
because
when
this
plan
is
published,
it's
not
the
end.
It's
only
the
beginning
or
continuation
of
what's
already
been
started.
So
I
really
appreciate
you
spending
time
with
us
tonight
sharing
your
feedback,
and
I
know
that
we'll
be
in
touch
as
we
go
forward.
So
I
wish
you
the
best
rest
of
the
night
and
take
care
and
enjoy
this
spring
weather.
We've
got
planned.
