Our long-time collaborators, GIC, are celebrating 40 years in San Francisco by planting 40 trees! 🎉 As part of GIC’s commitment to building resilient and livable communities, their dedicated team kicked off the celebration last month by planting 12 trees in the Bayview alongside our Green Crew. The trees they planted included Brisbane box, California buckeye, California Lilac, chitalpa, and trident maple. They’ll be back in the fall to plant more! 🌳🌳🌳

Have you ever wondered why trees need to be pruned? ✂️ Pruning removes dead, dysfunctional, damaged, and diseased branches (the 4Ds). Removing the 4Ds improves a tree’s structure, growth and health. Big thanks to the tree care volunteers from BeeSure USA for pruning young street trees in the Western Addition! 🌳
