We joined Mayor Lundberg and Peter Lawrence (Executive Director of Biomimicry New England) and others yesterday morning at City Hall to launch the 400 Trees Cooling Corridors Initiative kickoff. This initiative is an extension of the Gloucester 400 Trees project aiming to plant trees in and around Gloucester especially downtown. In addition, the program partners with the Cape Ann Garden Club and offers learning opportunities for school children through school and YMCA programs; as well as Tree Talks such as the upcoming May 14 event at the Sawyer Free Library featuring Lisa Giersbach. Partners in this include Heirloom Tree & Shrub Care. Speakers at this event included Mayor Lundberg, Peter Lawrence, Erin Anastasia-Murphy, Victoria Fortune, Chris Wood and Jack Montgomery. The program is actively seeking volunteers. If you are interested in more information or to volunteer check out this link: https://www.400treesma.org/ Happy Earth Day!
