Friends of the Urban Forest connects people with nature and each other by planting and caring for San Francisco’s trees and gardens.
We work to transform our city’s landscape to reduce the impact of climate change, address the environmental harm caused by racism and injustice, and collaborate with communities to build an environmentally resilient future. Since 1981, we have planted more than 60,000 trees - half of San Francisco’s street tree canopy. Friends of the Urban Forest has a long history of integrating urban greening with civic engagement as a way to increase community health and resilience, combat the effects of the climate crisis, and promote environmental equity and social justice. Friends of the Urban Forest recognizes San Francisco’s many communities and cultures and the diverse ways in which they connect with our urban forest. We also connect San Franciscans to nature and to each other.
