Volunteers from NOM/TCBD, Youth with a Mission, and Oracle got up early Saturday morning for another Tenderloin tree planting. Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF) were there with their tools and expertise, Hastings College of Law donated their loading dock as a staging area for the event — a real community effort! Team Oracle (who’s donation made this all possible) headed out first. We broke up into groups, got our on-site training and started planting.
Four hours later, San Francisco’s urban forest was 23 trees greener. After the outing, we all headed back to the community space at NOM/TCBD for lunch and some social time.
A big thank you to Oracle, and all of the volunteers that made this a great outing. The young folks from Youth with a Mission really energized the event — what a great group!
