A city named for trees hasn't had money to plant them. A local group is here to help
Briefly

"When Jenny Kaufman moved to the area in 2013, she saw that there was no place for the local kids to play. She started talking to her neighbors, including Rob Selna, about how they could transform the trash-strewn area into something useful for the community. They started by asking their neighbors. Maybe it could be a basketball court? Or a green park space?"
"Several years before the community garden was conceived, Selna served on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission... For Selna, trees and Oakland just go hand-in-hand. It's right there in our city's name."
