Friends of the Urban Forest

Friends of the Urban Forest is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting people with nature and each other through the planting and care of San Francisco’s trees and gardens. Since its establishment in 1981, the organization has been bringing communities together to plant and nurture street trees and sidewalk gardens in San Francisco, contributing significantly to the city's urban forest. With a commitment to fostering community and taking a local leadership role in climate solutions, Friends of the Urban Forest has planted approximately 60,000 trees, constituting about half of San Francisco's street trees. Their focus on environmental sustainability and community building aligns with the growing global interest in sustainable initiatives. Although specific investment details are not available at this time, the organization's impactful work and community-centric approach position it as an attractive potential investment opportunity for venture capital firms seeking to support environmentally conscious and community-driven initiatives in the United States.
