Subject: SB535 Cap-Trade Implementation Guidance
Comment:
To: CalEPA and CARB Woodland Tree Foundation fully supports using the majority of Cap Trade funds for tree planting in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs). However, we would prefer the funding for DACs be capped at the 55-70% range, leaving monies available for communities like Woodland (Yolo County) that have few DACs but are working hard to meet the tree planting goals in the City's Climate Action Plan. Woodland Tree volunteers have successfully implemented several CA. Releaf grants for community tree planting and we are ready to participate in the Cap Trade program to reduce greenhouse gases through additional tree planting and stewardship. Woodland's existing tree canopy would also benefit greatly from funding to ensure the younger trees are pruned properly to grow into healthy trees to combat global warming. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely, David Wilkinson President, Woodland Tree Foundation
