ReGreen Springfield

Look for the new Regreen Springfield video on the efforts of the organization to help restore the tornado impacted neighborhoods of the city. The video will be released at the City of Springfield’s Arbor Day Celebration, on Friday, April 27th, and will highlight our Spring 2013 community outreach initiative. This initiative aims to bring educational information on the value of urban forests to the residents of Springfield.

On a recent news segment, a research project that is being conducted in cooperation with Regreen Springfield was featured on WGGB-TV40.  The research involves examining the benefits of newly planted trees in the tornado zone of Springfield, and is being undertaken by the USDA Forest Service, the City of Springfield and the University of Massachusetts.

Take a look at the video segment that aired on WGGB.  Visit http://www.wggb.com/2013/03/29/springfield-tornado-zone-micro-climate-change/
