The CityTrees team is passionate about trees and their crucial role in nature and in our urban areas. In 2019, the team began to engage in work focused on reducing greenhouse gases in our local urban area via a Cal Fire/California ReLeaf grant. We carry this thought into our work today by considering an individual tree species' ability to sequester carbon as well as its suitability for the target planting site when we are choosing which type of tree to plant.
