Next Planet Southie Meeting is December 8
In the new year, monthly meetings will resume the regular schedule of every 4th Thursday from 6:30-7:30 pm at The Distillery. After December 8, the next monthly Planet Southie meeting is Thursday, January 26 at the Distillery from 6:30 - 7:30 pm.
Due to the fact that our November Planet Southie meeting was canceled because it fell on Thanksgiving and our December meeting falls too close to Christmas, we've decided to hold a meeting this Thursday (12/8) from 6:30-7:30 pm at The Distillery*. The main topic will be Renew Boston (sign-up deadline is now December 31, so we really need to get the word out). All are welcome -- we hope to see you there!

Opportunities to Help Southie Trees
Hello South Boston Green Advocates –
The City has notified us of three public hearings taking place regarding development in South Boston. These hearings are great places to voice support for keeping any existing trees and requesting expanded green space. If you or someone you know can make it to the hearings and would like to be a voice for our trees, please do so and forward this message along. The details of the hearings are at the end of this message along with places to send letters or emails.
The locations of the developments are below:
· 395 W. Broadway
· 49/51 Melcher ST.
· 319 A ST.
After scouting on Google Maps/street view, this appears to be the situation:
· 395 W. Broadway has 4 street trees out front, a few more in back (these may be weed trees), and another across Silver St behind the building.
· 49/51 Melcher St looks like it has 2 small trees out front.
· 319 A St. has a few trees between it and the parking lot to the south (these look like weed trees grown next to the fence).
It goes without saying that the street trees should be preserved. If the weed trees are grown into fences, they will likely be removed, but we can ask that they be replaced with more suitable species. Hearing details are below.
Thank you everyone for speaking for our silent, leafy neighbors.

The City has notified us of three public hearings taking place regarding development in South Boston. These hearings are great places to voice support for keeping any existing trees and requesting expanded green space. If you or someone you know can make it to the hearings and would like to be a voice for our trees, please do so and forward this message along. The details of the hearings are at the end of this message along with places to send letters or emails.
The locations of the developments are below:
· 395 W. Broadway
· 49/51 Melcher ST.
· 319 A ST.
After scouting on Google Maps/street view, this appears to be the situation:
· 395 W. Broadway has 4 street trees out front, a few more in back (these may be weed trees), and another across Silver St behind the building.
· 49/51 Melcher St looks like it has 2 small trees out front.
· 319 A St. has a few trees between it and the parking lot to the south (these look like weed trees grown next to the fence).
It goes without saying that the street trees should be preserved. If the weed trees are grown into fences, they will likely be removed, but we can ask that they be replaced with more suitable species. Hearing details are below.
