To better understand the current needs of Oakland's urban forest, the City applied for and received a grant from the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) funded by California Climate Investments in 2018.

The grant project includes a street and landscaped park tree inventory, the planting of 700 trees in flatland communities, and the development of Oakland's first Urban Forest Plan for the long-term health and improvement of the urban forest.
