Lynnfield's 1000 Trees Project

To reignite inspiration and hope through the power of trees.


The Lynnfield Tree Committee is concerned for our community and its future environmental health. In our new community-based project, 1000 trees will be planted throughout town to help ensure a healthy environment for the future. We need to act now to start the next generation of trees.


Trees are one of the most effective tools we have in our fight against climate change. Planting new trees is important for improving our air quality and combating climate change; however, preserving our existing tree canopy is even more urgent than ever. The amount of new trees planted each year is dwarfed by the amount of mature trees cut down annually, throwing into question the environmental ethics we want to demonstrate for our children.


Our collective impacts on the environment are more extensive than the warming of our atmosphere; in fact, they are leading to an ecological collapse from the loss of wildlife habitat. The once biodiverse powerhouses of the temperate deciduous forest are being jeopardized for short term human benefits. Biodiversity is vitally important for our long term success as a civilization as it regulates climate, purifies water, controls pollution, reduces diseases and more; yet it’s constantly overlooked in our fight against climate change. However, we can change our relationship with nature and address climate change through the reforestation of native trees in our yards.


Lynnfield’s 1000 Trees project was created to address the town's decreasing tree populations through public awareness and increase the number of new trees through a community-based tree planting project. We have curated this website to help you become a tree expert. Feel free to explore the site and reach out to us with any questions or comments.


Let’s plant back our trees Lynnfield!
