Hello Urban Forestry
Friends,
Here's what's happening in
urban and community forestry:

Gov. Brown Signs Cap & Trade Bills
Sept 30th -
Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1532 (Perez) and SB
535 (De Leon), two bills on Cap and Trade Auction Revenue
Allocation.
Over the course of the year, CaUFC has been actively working on this
legislation related to cap and trade auction revenue
allocation.
Auction revenue allocation is a separate aspect of AB 32 from the
offsets/protocols component and offers an opportunity for funding
projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Revenues from the cap and trade auction are estimated to be around
-800 million in fiscal year 2012-13 and progressively rise to billion
or more annually over the next 8-10 years. The passing of these bills
is positive news for urban forestry in terms of urban forestry
funding opportunities and in supporting disadvantaged communities.

Thank you to our supporters and partners in
helping to pass these important bills.
