Lead paragraph
The City of San Diego recognizes the importance of maintaining a thriving urban forest. Unlike natural forests, urban forests rely on human intervention to thrive.
The department of Parks and Recreation, Transporation, and Planning are all actively working to identify areas with active transportation and recreational connections for tree planting.
Arbor Day Foundation – San Diego is one of the foundation’s designated Tree City USA communities.
California ReLeaf – The organization promotes alliances among community-based groups, individuals, and industry and government agencies, encouraging each to contribute to the livability of cities and protection of our environment by planting and caring for trees.
San Diego Regional Urban Forest Council – The council is a member driven coalition of agencies, businesses and educators working to improve local urban forest assets.
Tree San Diego – The organization works to benefit the San Diego region to make it a healthier place to live, work and play.
