Friends of the Urban Forest helps individuals and neighborhood groups plant and care for street trees and sidewalk gardens in San Francisco. This "green infrastructure" improves the city by beautifying neighborhoods, cleaning the air, and reducing polluted stormwater runoff. Since 1981, FUF has brought communities together to plant more than 60,000 trees, totaling almost half of the city's street tree canopy. Green-minded individuals and businesses can adopt street tree plantings in San Francisco, and get public recognition for their support in a variety of ways (unless you prefer to be anonymous).
A group of my close knit family and friends donated to The Friends of the Urban Forest in memory of an amazing young man who died a year ago. We were able to get enough donated to plant 62 trees in SF to honor our friend, Jason H Collard. It was a wonderful way to memorialize Jason and we know he would have loved this tribute. So instead of sending flowers that just end up dead and discarded you might decide instead to get a group of your friends together to do what we did for whoever you have lost! Living trees beautifying our city! RIP Jason, we miss you!
Labeling it "Home Improvement" is misleading, to the public, so that cost 'em a couple Stars. But after I got their message, I had a Quasi Mystical & Neo-Religious Experience & was overcome with Understanding, Compassion & Loving Kindness for All Concerned; Them, Mys'elf, the entire FB community & FB itself, since it was they who perpetrated this Ratings Game upon me in the first place. I hope everyone can apprecite a Darkish Snarkly Sense of Humor enough to laugh a lil @ thems'elves. Try not to take things so personally, keep it "light-hearted" & be kind, too, like Urban Foresters here! That's What World needs now, more than ever!
Thanks to LetsGetLexi for this fun video about the day she and her husband, former San Francisco Giants right fielder Hunter Pence, spent planting street trees in the Sunset neighborhood with FUF. đź’š
