Special to Th e Advocate he City of Everett recently partnered with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) for a tree planting project. To kick off the planting season, this project added 70 trees to open spaces at Everett Housing Authority properties. DCR staff, along with T the City of Everett’s Tree Warden, Jacob St. Louis, planted trees to eventually provide natural shade and environmental benefits in the urban community of Everett. As urban tree canopies continue to decline due to environmental and urban pressures, this project will bring numerous benefits to residents. Some of the benefi ts these newly planted trees will provide are cooling neighborhoods, shading homes, saving money on air conditioning during the summer, decreasing storm water fl ooding and helping remove carbon dioxide and other fine particulates that are caused by pollution from the air. Planting these new trees now will eventually lead to a more environmentally safer, cleaner and cooler city.
