San Francisco Street Tree Nursery

The San Francisco Street Tree Nursery occupies a fourteen-thousand-square-foot lot tucked between the Fifth Street on and off-ramps of Interstate eighty. You can recognize the site by the refurbished shipping containers painted with colorful graphics that serve as offices and modular classrooms. Entirely powered by an onsite solar array, this facility represents the city's effort to grow its own urban forest, with space to cultivate approximately one thousand young trees at a time before they are planted across city sidewalks.
