Earlier Efforts
We support the continuation of funding for street trees in San Francisco.

Funding cut story in the Chronicle:

"Trees take fall during pruning of budget" {16-Jun-2002}

The sad state of the city's urban forest even before the funding cut:

"Arborists will have to act fast to save S.F.'s urban woodlands" {22-Mar-2002}

Our Stop the Chop campaign came to a sad end. The city now has more cars and fewer mature trees.
