$152KEducation and Outreach This program strengthens grassroots efforts by engaging the general public, community leaders, interested organizations, and urban and community forestry professionals. California ReLeafs programs are designed to educate Californians about the value and benefits of trees as well as sound tree care practices. FY2024 Education & Outreach Accomplishments: Urban and Community Forest Economic Impact Study Begun in late 2021, California ReLeaf extended the third UF Economic Impact study due to slow response rates during COVID. The research is funded by CAL FIRE and will be the most up-to-date CAL FIRE-supported project to document the fiscal effects of local urban forestry-related jobs on Californias economy. The research team included California Polytechnic State University, North Carolina State University, and Virginia Tech.
