  • Mendocino County Releaf (MCRL)

Since 1999, Mendocino County Releaf had been promoting the enhancement of the urban forests in Mendocino County by organizing tree plantings and providing educational materials. Recently, MCRL partnered with the Community Foundation of Mendocino County to provide small grants for tree plantings that serve a public benefit.

 

This commission was created at the behest of late Council member Phil Baldwin to implement the open space and conservation element of the Ukiah General Plan of 1995. POSC has been working towards these goals by creating the Creek Maintenance Policies and Procedures, the Doolan Creek study {see links below}, and is working on setbacks for creek corridors.
