What our Marshall Square Park trees do for us

Have you ever thought about what our trees do all day, every day?

An email volley called What's happening to the trees? about the removal of many mature trees for High Street's sidewalk renovation recently circulated, drawing in local experts.

A tree with a 24-inch girth will typically store more than 100 pounds of carbon, because trees are largely comprised of carbon.

To achieve this girth, the tree has to remove more than 367 pounds of CO2 (a global warming pollutant) from the air. The bigger the tree, the more carbon it stores, and the more CO2 it removes from the air.

As long as a tree is healthy and not extremely old, it keeps taking out more carbon each year. The lost benefit from one mature tree can't be mitigated just by planting a new young tree in its place — more like 16 young trees are needed.

So, now you know what our MSP trees are doing all day, every day.

And here's what we're doing…

We are actively raising funds to restore, improve, and preserve our Park.
