California Urban Forests Council and Urban Ecos partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to expand their new Energy Saving Trees program so that groups--large and small--throughout California could run shade tree programs with little effort and no start-up costs, only the cost of the trees. We call the program California EnerTrees.

Urban Ecos provided the following:

• Analysis of existing shade tree programs across the country
• Oversight of the analysis of Marin's urban forest by the US Forest Service and San Francisco State University
• Report on the urban forest of Marin County
• Oversight of the development of the new component of the Energy Saving Trees website
• Step by step guide to creating an EnerTrees program 

You'll find a summary of the project here.
