SFEI partnered with the City of East Palo Alto, the non-profit urban forestry group Canopy, and Hort Science to develop an Urban Forest Master Plan for the city. The project was funded by the CalFire grant “From Gray to Green: An Urban Forest Master Plan for East Palo Alto.” This innovative plan updated the street tree inventory, created a revised tree removal permit policy, and evaluated the potential to improve ecosystem services, ecological resilience, and adaptation to climate change. Canopy will plant 100 trees at the end of the project in the city.
