  • New Trees for Charlesgate

    The Boston Planning and Development Agency announced that the Charlesgate Alliance will receive $10,000 to plant five new trees in Charlesgate next Spring. The money comes from the Fenway Demonstration Project, which is funded by the Red Sox. This exciting news will show concrete commitment to the area as we work on longer range goals. We will be consulting over the winter with DCR about the final locations and species. Most new plantings will likely be in the area of The Grove, where several trees have been removed.
