AB131 Urban and Community Forestry Bill Signed into Law!

Governor Lombardo signed AB131 into law on May 30th. AB131 creates an urban and community forestry program to help mitigate urban heat island, clean our air, create wildlife habitats, and provide shade, food, and medicines to our communities.

Special thanks to Nancy Hughes, Executive Director of California Urban Forests Council and the Nevada Division of Forestry where this NRS will live. Big thanks to all including anyone we may have missed!
