An environmental gift prize will be offered to anyone who can send a not-yet-presented scientific fact useful to making a case for preserving the silver maple forest. Send your fact to info@friendsofalewifereservation.org. Include your name and address - gift will be sent.

For more information on urban forests, you can also contact
the Service Forester with the state's public forestry agency, the Department of Environmental Management, at 978 369-3350.
This will put you in touch with DEM's Service Forester who covers Cambridge, Belmont, and Somerville, and many other communities north of Boston - whose job is to provide "house-call" level of assistance or to serve as a free-of-charge "first-responder" to people or communities with an interest in forestland.
