lower stress, boost moods, reduce crime, and improve home values. They also lower heating and cooling costs, reduce stormwater runoff, and remove the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

(“Significant” refers to any tree wider than 8 inches in diameter as measured from a height of four feet above the ground.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60798f7f4f29b43fd072f09f/1620140709904-R55ZJKPENCMXE899OQ4M/IMG_20210504_110413.jpg Quincy policies - Check on tree work Are workers pruning or cutting down a street tree? The work may not be sanctioned by the tree warden. Email the tree warden with the location of the tree, what is happening to it, and photos if possible. CC us on the email so we can follow up (quincytreealliance@gmail.com). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60798f7f4f29b43fd072f09f/1305c483-c6fa-4269-ae63-a470f40ecc06/Dan+Photo.jpg Quincy policies - Meet Quincy’s Tree Warden, Dan Cathcart Daniel E. Cathcart was appointed the Tree Warden for the City of Quincy in February 2023. Daniel’s love of trees was passed down by his late father, who worked as an arborist for 67 years. “My first memory of being actively involved in arboriculture is when I was 10 years old,” he says. “My dad took me to an Arbor Day event in Lancaster, Mass., and had me speak on the history and significance of Arbor Day.” Daniel started his career in 1986 as a tree climber. Years later he became a certified arborist and began a chapter as a sales representative for several tree companies. For several years before joining the City of Quincy, Daniel operated a private arboricultural consulting practice. His focus was on tree protection, preservation, and maintenance planning. Daniel holds several certifications and qualifications: • International Society of Arboriculture - Board Certified Master Arborist #TX-1357B • International Society of Arboriculture - Tree Risk Assessment Qualified • Massachusetts Arborist Association – Massachusetts Certified Arborist #41801 • American Society of Consulting Arborist - Registered Consulting Arborist #766 • Massachusetts Qualified Tree Warden #1097 Daniel hopes to take a tree-centric approach to preserve and maintain the health of our urban forest, while maintaining public safety. https://www.quincytreealliance.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60798f7f4f29b43fd072f09f/1620492241974-HM61FX5D9RH3XGXDI0CX/IMG_3279+%281%29.JPG About - Our mission The Quincy Tree Alliance is a volunteer group that collaborates with local public officials, national and state agencies, and other community organizations to sustain and expand the urban forest in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Cherries can reach 20-50 feet tall and 20-50 feet wide. Best not to plant on crowded sidewalks or under power lines. This one is a city tree, planted in a cul-de-sac, so it has plenty of room to spread out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60798f7f4f29b43fd072f09f/fe82a17c-14b2-4197-a9fd-6b7eb0110a5a/dogwood.jpg Galleries No filters needed here! The dogwoods are in full bloom in Quincy, and boy are they showstoppers! Dogwoods have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries, thanks to their tannin-rich bark. The name “dogwood” originated in England in 1548. Cornus Florida is a popular variety in New England, but grows all down the East Coast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60798f7f4f29b43fd072f09f/d2d93936-2af7-4d28-adbc-b7881b561c3f/londonplane.jpg Galleries One of two London planetrees in front of Wollaston Library.
