Tree Tours
Friends of the Urban Forest arranges tours of the beautiful trees, parks, and natural spaces of San Francisco. Our Tree Tours happen rain or shine. Bring comfortable shoes that can get dirty. We also recommend you bring water and a camera (for all the beautiful trees). Be advised that some terrain may prevent the passage of wheeled mobility devices. Tours begin promptly. All tours are free, but to ensure that you're included, please RSVP to Sarah Campbell at sarah@fuf.net unless otherwise noted. Arborists, note: 1 CEU from ISA per tree tour. Enjoy!
