Corona Heights Tree Planting Group will be merged with Cole Valley's Tree Planting on Feb 16th. In the process sadly some of our applicants have not been approved by FUF for the tree planting due to not meeting the stringent tree planting restrictions in compliance with City and departments . However all parties are welcome to join us in the tree planting event. See information below for the tree planting event. Feel free to contact me for further information. 415.621.6604

I am trying to organizing a tree planting in our neighborhood in Corbett Heights! San Francisco residents have planted 40,000 trees all around the city with the help of Friends of the Urban Forest. Like them, you have made an enlightened decision to make your neighborhood greener, healthier, and more beautiful.
Every interested neighbor can be a part of the outreach effort. Everyone has a skill that can help unite the community. For example, outgoing people can be Block Captains for a few streets, less chatty folks could write to supervisor Dufty and other political folks to ask for support, others could sign up to lend trucks on planting day, experienced fundraisers can do just that, etc. By joining our planting group we are creating a community group that will work together to create a neighborhood planting and may actually work together as a community in other capacities as well. This is not just about a few more trees but about improving the whole neighborhood’s quality of life. Sky’s the limit.

The 100 Block of Corbett Ave has Caught the Neighborhood Watch Wave!
We initiated our SAFE meetings on December 11th 2006 after an attempted break in of our front door and a break in that occurred in my neighbors house next store earlier in the year. There had been a rash of burglaries and crimes in our neighborhood and I contacted SAFE to initiate a meeting on our immediate block. The response from the neighbors was very supportive and caring. The services and assistance that I received from SAFE enabled my group to successfully address crime and quality-of-life issues in my neighborhood corridor. SAFE is an integral part of community policing. They educated us on crime and violence prevention through effective problem-solving and increased communication with the police department, city agencies and other community organizations. Through their expertise and dedication to a safer city, the neighbors in the 100 block of Corbett group, are better able to form partnerships with the police and our elected officials. As a result, our neighborhood is safer, more cohesive, and has formed improved relationships with nearby neighbors, businesses and schools. We have applied for signage from SAFE declaring our 100 block of Corbett neighborhood as a SAFE Neighborhood under Surveillance. We plan on having a party to commemorate our new signs but more importantly our ongoing network to make our area safe.

Save time! Save trees!
Save the planet!
Would you like to stop junk mail, help the environment AND raise money for Friends of the Urban Forest? We’ve found a way -- by partnering with 41 Pounds. For $41, the 41 Pounds service will contact 20-35 direct mail companies to remove your name from their distribution lists. This includes almost all credit card applications, coupon mailers, sweepstakes entries, magazine offers and insurance promotions, as well as any catalogs you specify.
41 Pounds does all the leg-work to reduce your junk mail by 80-95% for five years -- and donates $15 to FUF!. Thanks to this service, we can:
- Reduce global warming . Junk mail produces more greenhouse gas emissions than 2.8 million cars.
- Save trees . More than 100 million trees are destroyed each year to produce junk mail. 42% of timber harvested nationwide becomes pulpwood for paper.
- Save water . About 28 billion gallons of water are wasted to produce and recycle junk each year.
- Save time . You waste about 70 hours a year dealing with junk mail.
Click here and get started. It takes only a few minutes to sign up – and the service lasts for 5 years! |
