Explore Boston's Urban Forest

As a volunteer, you'll pioneer the work of Earthwatch's Urban Forest Project. In Cambridge, we will be comparing our findings with those of a study done five years ago. The objective of the project is to draw statistical comparisons over time that will allow city officials to relate changes in the urban forest (tree species and size) to changes in environmental conditions (road traffic density, height of surrounding buildings, and surface composition).

作为志愿者，您将率先开展Earthwatch城市森林项目（Earthwatch's Urban Forest Project）的相关工作。在剑桥市，我们将把本次研究的发现与五年前一项同类研究的成果进行对比分析。本项目的目标是通过跨时间维度的统计对比，帮助市政官员将城市森林（树木种类与体量）的变化，与道路交通密度、周边建筑高度、地表组成等环境条件的变化建立科学关联。
