Plant Lists and Palettes - Each of San Francisco’s micro-climates provides a different environment for different types of plants. Learn about the types of plants that can tolerate or even thrive in a specific part of the City.
A tree is a great investment for our future. To highlight that notion, Arbor Day is celebrated throughout the nation and the world.
Each year for Arbor Day, San Francisco Public Works plants “signature trees” to honor community leaders, social change advocates, and local and global humanitarians who strengthened their community through public service, leadership and volunteerism.
StreetTreeSF is a voter-approved initiative managed by San Francisco Public Works to professionally maintain and care for the 124,000-plus street trees growing throughout all neighborhoods in the City.
The Urban Forestry Council annually reviews and updates this list of trees, in collaboration with public and non-profit urban forestry stakeholders, including San Francisco’s Department of Public Works Urban Forestry Division and Friends of the Urban Forest.
Proper establishment of your street tree is critical to the future health and maintenance requirements of your tree. See below for the essentials for a healthy establishment period, which will result in a long and happy life for your tree. A good investment of time now will save you maintenance dollars in the future.
Our urban forest is a complex system of trees, plants, wildlife, soil, air and water within the city including the many people who care for and enjoy it.
The San Francisco Urban Forest Plan was created to preserve, replace and grow the City's tree canopy so that residents and visitors alike can experience the canopy's social, economic and environmental benefits now and for years and generations to come.
