Company Profile
Our City Forest
Company Overview
Since 1994, Our City Forest has been the leading non-profit in the Silicon Valley for urban forestry and environmental education. We believe in the power of trees to transform homes, communities, and cities. Our mission is to cultivate a green and healthy Silicon Valley by engaging community members in the appreciation, protection, growth and maintenance of our urban eco-system, especially our urban ecosystem. Furthermore, trees are a major strategy in fighting drought and climate change- together, we are the solution.
We are now recruiting for program managers and full-time interns for a large-scale water conservation initiative involving lawn conversions and community tree plantings, apply online today at www.ourcityfores.org/careers
