Plant a beautiful tree in your beautiful Wellesley yard

April 30, 2022 by Deborah Brown

The Natural Resources Commission is accepting requests from homeowners who would like to have a town tree planted on their property. Many types of trees are available; they’re planted by the Public Works Park & Tree Division and cared for by homeowners. The NRC and DPW plant roughly 300 trees and shrubs in town each year. Email the NRC to be put on the tree request list.

The 150+ year old Black Oak, known as the Station Oak ,at the Wellesley Square post office.

Planting new trees make the planet more resilient to climate change, increase habitat for wildlife, and add beauty to the town.

Community service volunteers needed

The Park & Tree Division is looking for individuals who like to work outdoors to help with invasive plant removal, weed trimming, pruning, planting, watering and more.

Email DPW or call 781-235-7600 ext. 3335

    How does planting a tree in my yard stop or reverse geoengineering especially when the forest floors are experiencing engineered dryness? Planting a tree in my yard WILL NOT stop the planes/chem trails. It’s ridiculous to simplify combating climate change via feel good planting of new trees in our yards because it will not stop the toxins being sprayed in the skies which alter the climate which in turn kills off the necessary insects, wildlife and humans needed to sustain life.

        Thank you for asking for my suggestion 🙂.My suggestion would be that citizens of the world open their eyes and look up at the chem trails and ASK what is being sprayed (particulates) and why. Ask if climate modification operations are being used as weapons against humanity/ecosystems by either the military and/or global leaders. Do anything you can to inform others of the intentional dimming the sun. Tell others about the website called GeoEngineering Watch (https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/)and specifically mention the documentary titled “The Dimming”.
