The program specifi cally targets areas with less tree canopy, older housing stock, higher wind speeds and larger renter populations. In addition, plantings are concentrated in Environmental Justice neighborhoods to benefi t those most in need. Trees near homes and buildings shade structures and lower surface temperatures, while trees up to 1,500 feet away from a home also provide important benefi ts to the community (cleaner air, increase in property values, reduction in noise pollution, and improved public health). Additionally, in the winter months, tree trunks and branches help to randomize wind patterns and decrease heat loss by air infi ltration in poorly insulated homes. Furthermore, GGCP tree plantings benefi t the local economy through the purchasing of trees at local nurseries and employing local planting crews. To be eligible, residents and property owners must agree to a two-year watering commitment to ensure the trees’ survival. Easy care instructions addressing watering, mulching and pruning are provided by DCR to tree recipients. When a potential tree recipient registers, a DCR urban forester will visit the person’s home to determine the best location and species of tree for energy effi ciency. DCR also conducts year-round site visits and is available to answer questions. To find out if a home or business is within the planting zone, and to order a free tree, property owners and residents should call 617-6261459 or visit MAUrbanCanopy.org.
