Sunnyside, Glen Park & Mt. Davidson residents can get new trees on your street this summer. Neighborhood Launch event on July 7th!

Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF) is a non-profit organization that helps San Francisco residents get new trees on their blocks, and covers most of the costs. They have planted over 50k trees in San Francisco, but we still have more work to do!

In partnership with the Sunnyside Neighborhood Association (SNA) and the Monterey Heights Homes Association, FUF is launching a community tree planting happening throughout the Sunnyside, Glen Park & Mt. Davidson area this September –– and FUF has raised money to subsidize tree planting for local residents!
