---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Blier, Suzanne <blier@fas.harvard.edu> Date: Sat, Mar 20, 2021 at 1:31 PM Subject: [ACN] GREEN Cambridge "Calling all tree huggers"! Check out these impressive amendments to the City’s Tree Protection Ordinance that are “based on ideas generated through the Urban Forestry Master Planning (UFMP) process with contributions from members of the Urban Forestry Task Force (Task Force) and interested members of the public. *The proposed amendments* to the ordinance retain much of the original ordinance (2004) and the recent amendments of 2019 and have been revised to *address community concerns about protecting mature trees more broadly across the City and incentivizing the planting of more trees in the City as concerns about canopy loss and urban heat island effect become more significant.*” *Emphasis added.*
From the 3/18/21 overview letter of Owen O’Riordan, DPW Commissioner, *Link a.*
It’s on the City Council’s Monday Agenda and will be referred to the Ordinance Committee. *From:* cambridge-residents-alliance-core@googlegroups.com [mailto: cambridge-residents-alliance-core@googlegroups.com] *On Behalf Of *Michael Brandon *Sent:* Thursday, March 18, 2021 5:47 PM *To:* GREEN CAMBRIDGE LIST; FPRA; Association of Cambridge Neighborhoods; livable Cambridge open; ALLIANCE CORE LIST; Porter Square Neighbors Association; Cambridge Trees LIST *Subject:* craCORE: Calling all tree huggers *On Monday's City Manager's Agenda:* City Manager's Agenda Item Printout <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cambridgema.iqm2.com_Citizens_FileOpen.aspx-3FType-3D30-26ID-3D59721-26MeetingID-3D2798&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=i24jjCgY2IPJBFthF_VCiX63FNG3XUqb9SPnATGQFxQ&m=jYUCkaufZF0nTFJSqE4Xzzb9FSQlYnaUSobE1RW4pwk&s=UWYJYrx-gWuBAmaVEVVn_H1G3gefbDQFB0cjl4p8C-8&e=> *a.* Tree Protection Ord Amndmt cover 3-22-21 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cambridgema.iqm2.com_Citizens_FileOpen.aspx-3FType-3D4-26ID-3D10026-26MeetingID-3D2798&d=DwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=i24jjCgY2IPJBFthF_VCiX63FNG3XUqb9SPnATGQFxQ&m=jYUCkaufZF0nTFJSqE4Xzzb9FSQlYnaUSobE1RW4pwk&s=OxSvNd9b2LjU5NXXVBd6lVTIlBZPEo9zvcCgNamgYmQ&e=> *b*.
