As summer winds down, we say a heartfelt farewell to our incredible California Climate Action Corps (CCAC) Fellows—Sky, Monty, Gabi, Sofia, Cate, and Mario. Over the past year, they’ve helped us plant hundreds of trees, lead impactful community events, and expand urban forestry access across San Diego County. Their passion, hard work, and creativity have left a lasting impact on our team and the communities we serve. We’re so grateful for the energy and heart they brought to Tree San Diego!
