Our City Forest, an urban forestry nonprofit in San Jose, has been vital in increasing tree canopies for over three decades. Their efforts include distributing free street trees and organizing community planting events. However, the recent termination of a $650,000 AmeriCorps grant threatens their work and the livelihoods of 26 service members who depend on this funding. The organization is making contingency plans, including seeking private donations to maintain their workforce and community initiatives, amid budget cuts across local governments.
The termination of Our City Forest's $650,000 AmeriCorps grant has jeopardized its operations, impacting funding for its workforce and community tree-planting initiatives.
Despite funding challenges due to budget cuts, Our City Forest is determined to seek private donations to sustain its mission of greening San Jose.
