SUCCESS STORY
Arcadia
(San Francisco, CA)- Friends of the Urban Forest works with more than  
100 Bay Area artists to present a biennial exhibition and auction of  
original artwork of, or inspired by, trees. Proceeds from the event  
help fund tree planting and other organizational programs. Originally  
conceived by a group of artists in 2002, Arcadia continues to  
successfully increase Friends of the Urban Forest's profile and its  
work as well as raising money to expand its programs.
