Feel like this problem is only going to get worse as wildfires up north grow more common. That said, I think coastal New England still routinely has some of the best air quality in the country--certainly better than the West and Midwest.

Danehy is a gem. It contains one of the two publicly-planted Miyawaki forests in Cambridge!

This one looks great at night from the Thoreau Path in West End:

Central Square 4/19/25:
