TREE WALKS
of CAMBRIDGE
Demonstration at 9 a.m.; Walk 10-12 a.m.
With Larry Acosta, Cambridge City Arborist, our Urban Forester. If you cannot make a walk in your neighborhood, you are welcome to join other walks. Walks will occur on Saturdays listed below and will include neighborhood tree care demonstration at 9 a.m. and a tree identification and common problem analysis walk & plan next steps 10-12 a.m. The goal for this tree walk is to look at some of the alternatives for trees, sidewalks and sewage separation. This case study will be of interest for other neighborhoods facing sidewalk replacement and sewage separation.

Our goals are to teach you to 1.) provide basic care for trees and adopt trees and, 2.) identify some common trees and tree problems so you can help us be the eyes and ears for our city’s trees; and 3.) determine next steps. For information, to register for a walk, or to care for our street trees or a tree inventory team or to help develop policies and plans to protect and maintain our trees in Cambridge, call 547-1413 or fax 876-8991 or email.
