Restore funding for planting shade trees

To: Rep. Thompson, Sen. Schiff, Sen. Padilla

From: A constituent in Davis, CA

March 21

Please work to restore funding to programs funded by the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Today, I would especially like to see funding restored for the urban forestry initiative, administered by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation. It was supposed to distribute $75 million in grant funding to about 100 different cities, nonprofit organizations, and tribes to plant shade trees in neighborhoods that need them the most. Shade trees keep our cities cooler, greener, and healthier.
