Trees and Open Space

Benefits of Trees

Our treasured natural resources are not only important for recreation, but they provide essential benefits to our community and environment.

Trees have many benefits, such as keeping us cool on hot days, filtering pollution out of our air and water, and providing habitat for local wildlife. Request a Street Tree for your home or business and help Danvers increase the Town's tree canopy.

Natural Resources and Equity

Access for All

Parks bring great value to our community. They are important spaces for recreation and help residents enjoy healthy and active lifestyles, which can reduce risk of exposure to climate impacts, disease, and illness. Danvers Recreation offers programs and events for residents to stay healthy and have fun. 

Parks and natural areas are also are good for our well-being, increase property values, and are important habitat for wildlife. Right now, 53% of Danvers residents live within 10 minutes walk to a local park. We want to take steps so that all residents have easy access to a local park and everyone can enjoy their benefits.
