Bill overview
This bill expands the California Urban Forestry Act to include ‘school greening’ as a key benefit, aiming to improve the health and resilience of urban communities. It directs the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to develop a statewide strategic plan and provide technical assistance to cities, counties, and other entities on urban forest management, water capture, and school grounds improvements. The bill also authorizes grants for tree planting and other projects, with a focus on disadvantaged and low-income communities, and seeks to increase tree canopy cover across the state.
