[DEHC] free urban forest lecture series -1st one, Oct 10th

Greetings!, 
On April 28, Boston's Mayor Thomas M. Menino announced an initiative to 
"Grow Boston Greener" with the goal of planting 100,000 trees by the year 
2020. To meet this challenge-and it's a big one-the city is partnering 
with Boston's Urban Forest Coalition and enlisting the assistance of 
thousands of volunteers.
Finding individuals and organizations willing to plant trees is easy. 
Determining what and where to plant, and ensuring adequate water and care, 
add complexity to the task. The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, in 
partnership with Boston's Urban Forest Coalition, presents a series of 
lectures to help make the greening efforts informed, strategic, and, as a 
result, successful. 
Let's get growing!
Learn more about urban trees and what you can do to contribute to this 
historic effort.

You are invited to attend a
