Jon Bauer has been involved in this project in some capacity since 2010, with roles that have included host for plantings and equipment, grant administrator, and now financial and administrative lead. He lives and works in Oakland.
David Fryer has been planting trees for decades. He first volunteered with the Sierra Club Tree Team in 2016 and has worked with Trees for Oakland since 2017. Amy Hansen works with Trees for Oakland because she wants to take positive action against climate change and to beautify Oakland. She is a retired administrator/teacher. Kent Wegener retired after 40 years in corporate executive financial management. He plants and cares for trees because his grandkids' generation is growing up with degraded earth systems, water, air, soil and unstable climate caused by his boomer generation’s carelessness. Daniel Zauber didn’t know one could plant trees until 2015 and now plants monthly in Oakland with TreesforOakland, and in San Francisco with Friends of the Urban Forest. Christopher Buckley |
