San Francisco’s urban forest currently has one of the lowest canopy coverages in the United States — and it loses trees every year without a sustainable source of funding to care for what remains. Join our urban forest’s best advocates for a discussion of what can be done to reverse the surprising trends in the country’s “greenest” city.
