The collaboration will expand tree-planting and maintenance efforts, particularly in areas where Stockton parks lack adequate tree canopy and where several trees were lost during the severe 2022 winter storms.
"Trees are so important," said Charis Guerzo, the program's communications manager. "They help us breathe easier. They provide shade when it's super hot."
"They're a critical infrastructure to communities," Tamayo said of trees. "They are important for cooling our streets, for providing beauty. They're also really important for capturing rainwater, which in California, so much of our rainwater just washes off into the drain system and out to the ocean."
"There's a lot of different social, environmental, health, and disproportionate impacts on the communities that live here," she said.
"It is a way for me to reconnect to my roots in Stockton and also reconnect to my ancestors and be part of the work that they were part of, tending to the land," she said.
The team also takes volunteers to plant trees and is looking at holding its next big tree-planting event in the fall. The group also offers a 30-week urban forestry training program to expose people to careers in this field.
