Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Legislative Monitoring and Outreach:California ReLeaf monitors State and Federal legislation for opportunities to educate and participate in public debate and policy related to urban forestry. Of particular interest is how urban forestry is being increasingly integrated into other policy and funding arenas, such as affordable housing, additional mitigation measures, and potentially climate adaptation programs. It is gratifying to see the steadily mounting recognition of the value of urban forest co-benefits combined with the need to ensure environmental justice through prioritizing state and federal funding in previously underserved communities as demonstrated by the California Climate Investments program and the Federal Justice40 Initiative.Through our website, newsletter, emails and action alerts, ReLeaf ensures that Network members and other interested community members are aware of what is happening at the state and federal level and also provides information for how local groups can make their voices heard.California ReLeaf staff continued communications with state agencies as well as environmental and social justice partners on policy priorities during the reporting period. Strategic PartnershipsIn order to advance California ReLeafs mission to empower grassroots efforts and build strategic partnerships that preserve, protect, and enhance Californias urban and community forests, ReLeaf staff participated in the following strategic partnerships, collaborations, and committees:- Alliance of Regional Collaboratives for Climate Adaptation (ARCCA)- Alliance for Community Trees Executive Director Circle- California Institute for Biodiversity- California Urban Forestry Advisory Committee (CUFAC) - ClimatePlan- Sustainable Communities 4 All (SC4A)- Sustainable Urban Forest Coalition (SUFC)
