  • 11:00 AM -2:00 PM - Tree planting at UC Hastings and neighborhood wide
  • 2:00 PM - Potluck, refreshments and celebration
The kickoff and end of event celebration will take place at UC Hastings, 198 McAllister Street at 'The Beach'.

The community at large is encouraged to join the event to celebrate the addition of safety improvements, greening and trees! (note: Friends of the Urban Forest is coordinating volunteers for planting)
