Cambridge residents were asked to help the city's trees by watering them amid the heat and drought as new and even older trees were "significantly stressed."
Staff from Cambridge’s urban forestry department were using three water trucks to provide relief to street trees across the city throughout the day. The city’s water department and “water-by-bike” staff were also helping with tree watering.
People were also asked to limit or stop all unneeded outdoor watering, excluding tree watering, and to conserve water.
