Los becarios sirven en una organización sin fines de lucro, tribu, agencia pública o institución educativa. Se centran en la ecologización urbana, la recuperación de residuos orgánicos y alimentos comestibles, y la resistencia a los incendios forestales. ¡Los becarios de CCAC reciben beneficios, desarrollo profesional y la oportunidad de unirse a la próxima cohorte de líderes de acción climática!

Specific deliverables include adding trees in public spaces in disadvantaged communities (selected, planted, and maintained for 2-3 years, along with watering and pruning) and providing successful approaches to tree selection, planting, and maintenance that will increase the long-term survivability of trees in disadvantaged communities. Also provided are water-wise plant palette materials that address how appropriate understory species improve tree survivability.

​

Urban Corps will provide services including tree and understory acquisition, planting, monitoring, maintenance, and selected watering. In the City of San Diego, One San Diego will provide their close connection with San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer to ensure that the city’s staff will provide the requisite support, connect Tree San Diego to the best local community organizations so they can work together to create tree stewardship; arrange public planting and maintenance events involving the Mayor, City Council members, and other notable figures to generate widespread positive public recognition for these new sections of urban forest.
