Thank you, San Diego Jewish Journal, for highlighting the important work our team and partners do to expand and care for the region's urban forest! "Tree San Diego is focused on the future and has created a model for their long-term success. Fike-Data [Executive Director] explained, 'With more than 90% of our projects serving underinvested communities, TSD is committed to prioritizing equitable access to green space and expanded tree canopy, which has countless environmental, social and economic benefits over time. Our TSD team has built a holistic approach to long-term urban greening; we call it the People-Plan-Plant model, which aims to bring balance to program design and implementation, ensuring equal access to environmental resources and workforce training while also providing space for all voices and groups during the planning stage for any public project.'"

?? WHAT A MILESTONE ?? This month, in celebration of our 10th anniversary, TSD planted our 10,000th tree! This marked a moment of achievement, gratitude, and reflection, as well as our appreciation for all things TREES, what they do, and how we show up for them. While our mission began with planting the first of many trees, it took support from our community, donors, and partners to reach the 10,000th. Read more about how TSD and the trees we planted -grew- over the past decade here: https://lnkd.in/gF3j-a7Y Thank you to the City of La Mesa for welcoming this ceremonial planting and for your partnership -- and a big thank you to City Manager Greg Humora and CAP Manager Hilary Ego for continuing to advocate for more trees in urban neighborhoods! Stay tuned for highlights of our 10th Anniversary & Awards Celebration where our new initiative, "The Next 10000," was launched! #trees #community #nonprofits #charity #urbanforests #partnership
