Our days are only getting sunnier and longer from here on out! There’s no better way to celebrate than by scheduling your free spring tree planting with Green Cambridge’s Canopy Crew https://greencambridge.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c3b4c853fbe6a7b98…. > > Many trees and plants hold a special importance in the winter solstice. Trees from our available tree list https://greencambridge.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c3b4c853fbe6a7b98… are no exception. Oak trees are considered symbols of eternal life because they are so long lived and birch trees symbolize new beginnings. Both of these are available to be planted for free in your yard in spring 2024! > > Since 2009, Cambridge has lost 18% of its canopy coverage. Urban trees are crucial for shade production, stormwater mitigation, creating cleaner air, and more. With the future of hotter summers, more rain, and the other effects of climate change, it’s key we replace and grow our urban forest. > > That’s where Canopy Crew comes in! Canopy Crew is a paid internship for Cambridge high school students. They learn how trees impact equity and justice issues in Cambridge and take action by planting trees. They also explore career opportunities in urban forestry, environmental science, and community outreach while preserving and expanding our shared tree canopy. > > By providing space in your yard, you not only create hands-on learning experiences for the Crew but also actively work against the effects of climate change.

Fwd: City of Cambridge Joins Neighboring Cities in Welcoming Ebikes into Bluebikes' Bicycle Fleet
by raryals 20 Dec '23

20 Dec '23

*City of Cambridge* *Contact:* Jeremy Warnick Director of Media Relations PIO(a)cambridgema.gov <pio(a)cambridgema.gov> *For Immediate Release* *City of Cambridge Joins Neighboring Cities in Welcoming Ebikes into Bluebikes' Bicycle Fleet* *CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 20, 2023 -- *The City of Cambridge today joined Boston, Somerville, Everett, Brookline and system sponsor Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts in welcoming 750 next-generation ebikes into the region’s Bluebikes bicycle fleet. The first 20 ebikes are expected to roll out today at 4 p.m. at the Kendall Square Valet station, while additional ebikes will be made available on City streets over the next few months. The integration of these new ebikes is expected to grow the overall Bluebikes fleet to 5,000 bikes across 500 regional stations by next summer. Bluebikes’ ebikes, which are manufactured by Lyft and were named one of TIME’s 100 Best Inventions of 2022, feature a smooth ride with pedal-assist technology, a single gear transmission, a long-lasting battery with a 60-mile range, a user-friendly interface LCD screen, and safety upgrades such as LED light and reflective paint for increased visibility. Massachusetts legalized Class 1 ebikes, which have no throttle and have a maximum speed of 20 MPH, as part of the Transportation Bond Bill in 2022. The City of Cambridge and other municipal owners have prioritized access and affordability for the new Bluebikes ebikes, which will be available at $0.10 per minute for Bluebikes members <https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=iNz98fGjAij26T-2FVbfV…> and $0.07 per minute for low-income residents enrolled in Bluebikes’ Income-Eligible Program <https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=iNz98fGjAij26T-2FVbfV…>. Income-eligible riders are provided a reduced annual or monthly fee for Bluebikes. Ebikes will be $0.25 per minute for non-member riders who purchase a Single Trip or Adventure Pass. “The City of Cambridge is proud to support more affordable, sustainable, and healthier forms of transportation and extend what has been a win-win public-private partnership,” said Cambridge City Manager Yi-An Huang. “Bluebikes have become a critical part of Cambridge’s public transportation system and I am excited to make that system more accessible through the addition of ebikes. Adding this eco-friendly option to the Bluebikes fleet will open up the system to more older adults, people with disabilities, and others who may find traditional bikes hard to pedal. It will also create more opportunities for individuals seeking to maximize their time, get around and access to our busy communities, while reducing traffic congestion." Ebike riders are afforded all the rights and privileges related to all bicycle riders <https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=iNz98fGjAij26T-2FVbfV…>, except that ebikes are not allowed to be ridden on sidewalks. The City of Cambridge <https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=iNz98fGjAij26T-2FVbfV…> encourages riders to be respectful of other users on roads and paths by slowing down to pass and ride at a speed that is within handling abilities. *About Bluebikes* Bluebikes is public transportation by bike. The system is jointly owned and managed by the Cities of Boston, Cambridge, Everett, and Somerville and the Town of Brookline. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is the system’s title sponsor. Riders can find 455 stations and more than 4,000 bikes across 13 municipalities in Metro Boston. Since 2011, riders have taken more than 22 million trips on Bluebikes.

When you become part of the Wonderfund Holiday Gift Drive, you are giving more than a gift, you are giving hope, joy, and dignity to a child or teen in your community. We'd be so grateful if you'd join our movement to bring holiday magic to children and teens across Massachusetts. With Gratitude, The Wonderfund Holiday Team https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… [Facebook] ‌ https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… [Twitter] ‌ https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… [LinkedIn] ‌ https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… [Instagram] ‌ https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… [YouTube] ‌ https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001S7MYvQNnYZNrKRFd4EZvrfVCc7slP4BpsoRFavL1SGj… Massachusetts Wonderfund Inc. | 600 Washington Street, 6th Floor, Boston, MA 02111 Unsubscribe hla(a)comcast.net https://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=un&m=001v7ikdCek7jsc81o58QyMlw%3D&… Update Profile https://visitor.constantcontact.com/do?p=oo&m=001v7ikdCek7jsc81o58QyMlw%3D&… | Constant Contact Data Notice https://www.constantcontact.com/legal/customer-contact-data-notice Sent by holiday(a)wonderfundma.org mailto:holiday@wonderfundma.org powered by [Trusted Email from Constant Contact - Try it FREE today.] http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=nge&rmc=VF21_3GE&pn=ROVING&nav=… Try email marketing for free today! http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp?cc=nge&rmc=VF21_3GE&pn=ROVING&nav=…
