In recognition of San Francisco's Transgender History Month, the Transgender District and Friends of the Urban Forest will plant trees in the Tenderloin Saturday, August 27, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The group will meet at Boeddeker Park, located at Jones and Eddy streets.

Aria Sa'id, a trans woman who's president and chief strategist for the trans district, said the effort was a long time coming.

"We're excited to share that after four years of advocacy — it's finally happening!" Sa'id stated in an email. "We've partnered with Friends of the Urban Forest and will be planting trees throughout the Tenderloin neighborhood!"

Sa'id said that the project "has been a huge dream for the Transgender District."

"To create more greenery in the inner city that will support ... wind tunnels, shade when it's hot, and to beautify the neighborhood for longtime residents of the Tenderloin who have fought for green equity in our neighborhood," she explained.

Volunteers are welcome. To RSVP, click here. For questions, contact Belen, development and partnerships associate at belen@transgenderdistrictsf.com.
