Planting Positivity
As a Community Planting Manager for Friends of the Urban Forest, I transform streets and neighborhoods by planting street trees. I love...
Trees fight climate change, improve air quality, control storm water runoff, reduce noise pollution, add beauty, and boost happiness.
OUR IMPACT
Since 1981, we have planted more than 60,000 street trees, almost half of San Francisco’s street tree canopy. We water 500 trees every week, plant and care for 300 trees every month, and replace 10,000sq ft. of concrete with soil every year.
OUR WORK
Tree Planting
and Care
We increase the city's tree canopy by planting street trees in public spaces and caring for them for 3 years.
Sidewalk Gardens
We beautify neighborhoods by coordinating
community based sidewalk garden projects.
Workforce Development
We provide vocational training and mentorship to teens interested in a career in the environmental field.
OUR COMMITMENT
CHANGE our city’s landscape by replacing concrete with trees and plants, focusing on neighborhoods with the greatest need.
INSPIRE communities to participate in building an environmentally equitable future.
RAISE AWARENESS of San Francisco’s Tree Canopy, the science of Urban Forestry, and the impact of Government Policies.
