From the Greenwich Time:
The Greenwich Tree Conservancy has planted trees at two parking lots in town in an effort to beautify the spaces and provide shade for sunny days.
The conservancy has been “greening” parking lots around town since 2018. This summer they planted 14 new trees at lots on William Street in Central Greenwich and Henry Street in Byram.
The conservancy works with Greg Kramer, the town’s tree warden, to select the right trees for each place.
“Parking lots are challenging environments for trees and Dr. Kramer selects ornamental and shade trees that suit a neighborhood’s aesthetics and can withstand the heat, air pollution and de-icing salts they may be exposed to,” the conservancy wrote in a press release.
In addition to providing shade, the trees also reduce water runoff from paved areas and improve air quality.
