Pollen hotspots in Boston

Boston is a walking city…a walking city that’s far less pleasant when you’re sneezing up a storm. Tree pollen causes some of Boston’s highest pollen counts from February through May. Thankfully, fall also means falling pollen counts, so you can gather apples and check out vibrant autumn leaves without the sniffles holding you back. If you want to keep seasonal allergies at bay when pollen counts are high during high-pollen months, you might want to steer clear of parks and grassy areas, but we know how tough it is to avoid the absolutely beautiful green spaces that the Emerald Necklace Conservancy has to offer. That’s why we’ve put together a few options for allergy-friendly activities to help you get the most out of allergy season.
