Beautification

Mayor Sullivan knows that how a town looks is important. That is why he is committed to the beautification of Braintree.

Tree Planting Program
As part of his beautification plan, Mayor Sullivan has implemented a tree planting program with the goal of planting 500 trees from 2008 through 2012. The work is being coordinated through the town’s Department of Planning and Community Development and the Department of Public Works.

To date, 128 trees have been planted throughout town. The locations of the plantings are Braintree Square, South Braintree Square, Ivory Street median, Perkins Park, Lincoln Park, Dyer Field, Hollis School, South Street, Hollingsworth Avenue, Penniman Park and Weymouth Landing.

“These tree plantings are an important aesthetic commitment to enhance our public ways understanding the need to further beautify our town and taking proactive steps to protect and improve our environment,” Sullivan said.

In fact, the tree plantings serve more than to just add to the appearance of a community. They show the town’s dedication to the environment by taking clear steps to improve the quality of our air and water.

“I am pleased with the progress we have made to our stated goal of planting 500 trees over the next four years,” Sullivan added. “And enhancing the quality of life for generations to come is good for Braintree.”

Beautify Braintree Day
On May 3, 2008, Braintree held its first Beautify Braintree Day. With the help of several organizations and support from local businesses, hundreds of volunteers helped clean up areas across the entire town. In addition, yard waste dumpsters were placed around town to make yard cleanups more convenient. The event culminated in a cookout at the Braintree High School.

This annual event will be held the first Saturday of May each year.

This year, Braintree held its second annual Beautify Braintree Day on Saturday, May 2nd.
