Contracts for tree planting and maintenance and community outreach, education and engagement were confirmed with the City of Oakland, Oakland Parks and Recreation Foundation, the West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project, and OUSD. To date, 100+ trees were planted and maintained in South Prescott Park, Mandela Parkway, Prescott Elementary.Expenses $515,712
