The Canopy Crew is a paid urban forestry internship for Cambridge high school students.

Sidewalk salt can help to avoid slippery sidewalks, but it can also damage our city's trees. Take a moment to observe salt/deicer use in and around your tree. Where does the salt end up? Does it pile within your tree pit? Deicers are a better choice for trees and the environment than salt—encouraging your neighbors to switch is a great way to advocate for trees. 

Help keep chemicals out of tree wells and waterways by shoveling first, avoiding chloride-based deicers, and using de-icer sparingly.
