California Urban Forests Council

The California Urban Forests Council, based in San Rafael, CA, is dedicated to addressing the critical role trees play in urban environments and the disparities faced by disadvantaged communities. Through initiatives like the Save Our Shade campaign, the organization advocates for increased tree canopy and environmental equity, aiming to mitigate the adverse effects of urban heat and enhance community well-being.

By focusing on the challenges posed by limited green spaces, higher energy costs, and health risks in underserved neighborhoods, the Council strives to foster healthier, more resilient communities. Their efforts aim to ensure that all residents have access to the benefits of a thriving urban forest, highlighting the importance of environmental justice and active participation in urban planning.
