Growing on Trees
Volunteer Opportunities to Help Boston Inventory Its Street Trees:  A note 
from Elizabeth Walsh of the Urban Ecology Institute:
Hello Boston nature lovers!

Despite the unrelenting rains, this season's tree counting efforts are off 
to a great start, and with your help, we will be able to finish Boston's 
first street tree inventory this summer! 

We're still recruiting volunteers for this final season of the Greater 
Boston Urban Forest Inventory, so if you  - and any other urban 
tree-lovers you know - are interested in helping out, please join us for 
one of our remaining Healthy Trees, Healthy Neighborhoods workshops 
(details below). This free workshop will provide you with the training 
you'll need to participate in the tree survey - and to make the case for 
your neighborhood trees. 
Also, in case you missed it, here's a great article about GBUFI which 
appeared on the (FRONT PAGE!) of the June 18th Sunday Boston Globe:

Thanks, as always, for all you do to make Boston a healthier home for us 
all, and I hope to see you soon!
