DREAMING OF A GREEN CHRISTMAS

SOLD OUT!

Please check back next year in late November.
Thank you for your interest.

For a limited time, Friends of the Urban Forest and SF Environment are offering San Francisco residents a chance to order a living, potted Christmas Tree for only $90. Each one of these beautiful, 6' to 8' tall trees has been handpicked to thrive in San Francisco.

For the first time ever, you can choose exactly which tree you would like to have in your home for the holidays when you pick up your tree at the City Hall Plaza Green Christmas Tree lot on December 7th, from 9 am until 5 pm. Trees will be available on a first come, first served basis. If you miss the tree lot, you can pick up your tree at the Friends of the Urban Forest offices from December 8, 2008 through December 12, 2008. Pick up your tree early for the best selection!

After the holidays, we'll pick up the trees from you and plant them on our city's streets.

• Living Christmas trees need to be planted after the holiday season is over, but most city dwellers don't have enough space to accommodate these trees when they're fully-grown. Our non-traditional Green Christmas Trees are great trees for our city.
• Urban trees reduce water pollution by capturing street runoff from storms.
• Trees save on energy costs by acting as shade from the sun and as a shield from the wind.
• Street trees help clean the air and can reduce incidences of childhood asthma.
• San Francisco streets have about 106,000 trees but can accommodate up to 120,000 more.
