This San Francisco based non-profit was founded in 1981 with a mission to, "promote a larger, healthier urban forest as part of the urban ecosystem, through community planting, maintenance, education and advocacy."
Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF) works with residents who request tree plantings, and helps them obtain permits. Before a planting, FUF staff will remove sidewalk concrete and purchase trees. The day of a planting, FUF Staff and Volunteers along with the residents who had requested the trees, work to put the trees into the ground. FUF provides all tools necessary.
