Value proposition

We connect people with nature and each other by planting and caring for San Francisco’s trees and gardens.

Friends of the Urban Forest bring neighbors together to plant and care for street trees and sidewalk gardens in San Francisco. We are committed to growing San Francisco’s urban forest, building community, and taking a local leadership role in climate solutions through the simple act of planting trees and gardens. Since 1981, we have planted about 60,000 trees, totaling about half of San Francisco's street trees.
