Here's a look inside SF's urban forest plan as it works toward planting 3,500 trees over 5 years

from ABC7 San Francisco 4 weeks ago

San Francisco is undertaking a significant initiative to enhance its urban forest by planting 3,500 trees over five years. As of the latest updates, tree planting crews are actively engaged in carefully selecting and installing trees, such as olive trees in the Mission District. Each tree's placement involves considerations of its growth direction and environmental conditions, ensuring that they thrive in urban settings. Regular maintenance post-planting is crucial for their survival and integration into the community. This project reflects the city's commitment to increasing green spaces and improving urban ecology.

"We want the more bare side to go toward the sidewalk, because we want the tree to grow out. We don't want it to necessarily grow into the sidewalk, because then it protrudes as pedestrians walk by."

"This is called the gator bag. It takes 20 gallons of water."

"Each tree is thoughtfully selected and planted based on San Francisco's unique environment and community needs."
