About the Plan

Through Assembly Bill 2251, the CAL FIRE UCF Program has been tasked to draft a strategic plan to increase tree canopy cover in urban areas statewide by 2035. CAL FIRE is coordinating the plan in collaboration with Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo. The plan will establish a shared vision and strategic framework to expand and sustain tree canopy in communities statewide, improving climate resilience, public health, and quality of life.
