In partnership with the Mystic River Watershed Association, TreesMedford was awarded a grant to provide shade trees to Medford residents to plant in their yards. The grant specified these bare-root, 3- to 6-foot tall trees be distributed to Medford residents most affected by urban heat islands (e.g., who live in South Medford, Wellington) and who commit to caring for the tree.
In October 2023, 54 trees were planted across Medford. Given community interest, TreesMedford plans to coordinate similar programs in coming years.
