Grow Boston Greener is a collaborative effort of the City of Boston and its partners in Boston's Urban Forest Coalition (BUFC) to increase the Urban Tree Canopy of the City. In 2006 members of BUFC including citizen volunteers inventoried both the street trees of the City as well as overall canopy coverage across all neighborhoods. These data revealed that Boston's current canopy cover is 29%. Grow Boston Greener will increase this number to 35% by planting 100,000 trees by the year 2020.
