Bay Area California Climate Investments in Action
Restoring Forest Health in Sonoma County
Shelterwood Collective, a Black- and Indigenous-led nonprofit, received a $4.9 million Forest Health grant to restore a 900-acre Sonoma County forest
The forest, which is home to old growth redwoods, oak woodlands, and creeks that run into the Russian River, had been mismanaged for decades, leaving it vulnerable to wildfire
With the grant funds, the Collective has been able to conduct prescribed burns, thin overly dense vegetation, and restore native species to the landscape, reducing the risk of severe wildfire
Shoreline Restoration in San Francisco
In September 2023, the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department received a $5.1 million grant to transform a former industrial site in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood
The site now contains an acre of green space and restored tidal marsh habitat, along with community gathering spaces
The park is designed to be resilient to climate change, with native plant gardens, a living shoreline, restored wetland habitat, and floating docks

Who is eligible?
A number of implemented California Climate Investments projects span multiple geographic boundaries (e.g., a transit bus line or large forestry project crossing county lines). While most projects can be tied to one project address, where it is not feasible to associate a project with a single region, district, or county, the same project data is included in each area that benefits from the investment. This method of attribution tends to increase the implemented project totals reported here. See the Project List for a more detailed explanation of the methodology the California Air Resources Board uses to evaluate projects that cross geographic boundaries.
