Tree Care Hyde Park aligns with the aim of the City of Boston Urban Forest Plan to share the power of urban trees to improve air quality, provide wildlife habitat, reduce heat and mitigate the adverse health impacts of heat, reduce stormwater flooding, lower energy bills, capture carbon, and create an urban community that is joyful, peaceful, and beautiful.
The Trees of Hyde Park
Maple, oak, black cherry, birch, elm, crab apple, and willow—the urban trees of Hyde Park are our neighbors. Tree Care Hyde Park shines a spotlight on the trees around us through 1000 colorful, plant-dyed textile tree tags printed with ink made from the trees.
The text on the tags invite us into multi-sensory actions with the tree that help us to know how the trees feel, act, relate, and live. As we perform those invitations, we find the tree’s ways of being inside ourselves and our communities.
