Downtown Keene will have more trees when the Downtown Infrastructure Project is complete. Before designing the project, the City completed a tree study to evaluate every tree in the project area. While some trees must be removed because they are in poor condition or to make way for important new underground infrastructure, about 85 existing trees will remain, and more than 150 new trees will be planted throughout the project area. The project also includes 742 shrubs and more than 6,650 perennial plants.
The new trees will have Silva Cells – modular grids that hold uncompacted, nutrient-rich soil beneath the surface and allow roots to spread naturally without causing buckling at the surface level. This will also help the trees grow faster, reach a larger mature canopy size, and absorb more stormwater runoff. The result will be a greener downtown with more trees.
