Rooted in place and shaped by community, the public art project Tree Care Hyde Park celebrates and expands the community of care between urban trees and their human neighbors in Hyde Park through a series of community workshops, textile tree tags, and a mobile printing/planting press.
Hyde Park is losing tree canopy faster than any other neighborhood in Boston and its tree canopy is not equitably distributed.
Our urban tree canopy improves air quality, provides wildlife habitat, reduces heat, mitigates stormwater flooding, and creates an urban community that is joyful, peaceful, and beautiful.
A series of free public programs and workshops open to the community centering around a mobile printing/planting press in the form of a wheelbarrow.
Workshops: Community members are invited to hum, breathe, move, whisper, and dream with the trees and to write invitations to the trees to join us in our everyday lives which we can print on textile tree tags using the Tree Care Printing/Planting Press. Hyde Park residents can take a tree tag home to hang on trees in their yard, street, or park.
Tree planting: Join Tree Care Hyde Park in planting trees in our parks and neighborhoods, particularly in low canopy neighborhoods, find out how to get trees planted in your yard, or receive a free tree in a Tree Giveaway.
Wander through the interactive map to find landscapes and trees that are on your way to work, where you can walk your dog, or where you can simply be in a peaceful, protected natural habitat.
We are tagging 1000 trees throughout Hyde Park. The brightly colored, plant-dyed textiles tags are printed with short texts in the form of multi-sensory invitations to get to know and commune with our tree neighbors.
