OUR MISSION
Our mission at Speak for the Trees, Boston, (SFTT), is to increase the size and improve the health of the urban tree canopy in Boston through engagement, outreach, education, and advocacy. We partner with municipalities and community organizations to plant trees, share best practices, increase community ownership of neighborhood spaces, improve tree policies, and raise awareness and advocacy for tree stewardship, especially in environmental justice neighborhoods with low tree coverage. Our aim is to support the City of Boston to reach its goal of 35% urban tree canopy coverage by 2030.
We are rooted in four core values:
Urban resiliency is critical in this era of global climate change.
In our commitment to equity, we believe all Boston-area residents deserve a clean and healthy urban environment.
Strong and green communities are the backbone of safe spaces, social cohesion, and livable neighborhoods.
Because all citizens play an important role in solving local and global environmental challenges, we are seeking inclusion of a variety and diversity of stakeholders from all of Boston’s neighborhoods.

Speak for the Trees’ current Board of Directors includes David Meshoulam, Amanda Rich, Melinda Vega, Andrew Droste, Dr. Atyia Martin, and Joe Stein.
