Last night Friends of the Urban Forest held a fund raiser at Anne Sommerville’s Greens restaurant. It was a gathering of tribes and a connecting point for future action. The treehuggers and the foodies have a common agenda around environment, sustainability and engagement. Mayor Gavin Newsom’s office presented FUF executive director Kelly Quirke with a proclamation, a representative of Nancy Pelosi’s office expressed her support of the urban forestry movement, and Katrina Heron, speaking on behalf of Alice Waters, spread the word about the Slow Food Movement.
