Greening the Bay Area: Cities to receive $42M to plant more trees, combat climate change

Cities in the San Francisco Bay Area will be receiving more than $42 million in funding to combat climate change by planting trees and creating urban spaces, among other projects, California lawmakers said this week.

U.S. Senators Alex Padilla and Dianne Feinstein, D-California, said the funding is part of the $102.8 million grant awarded to the state by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service. It comes from the Inflation Reduction Act, according to Padilla’s office.
