California, along with other states, will get a share of more than $1 billion in federal money to help communities plant trees. The program is intended to reduce heat and clean the air.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced last week that cities and towns across all 50 states will receive tree planting grants focused on disadvantaged areas, including those in Washington, D.C., the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and multiple tribal nations.The federal government’s plan to plant trees stemmed from funds included in the Inflation Reduction Act passed last year. The Golden State was awarded over $102 million in grants to 43 recipients, Sens.
San Francisco Public Works's Bureau of Urban Forestry received the largest award out of all beneficiaries from the state — $12 million to “plant thousands of street trees in low-canopy communities in order to mitigate extreme heat, create green jobs, and establish climate-ready neighborhoods.”
