The site of Georgetown Community Forest in Seattle, WA, USA.

“We are very thrilled to bring more trees to our community. Canopy is urgently needed to expand for Georgetown and South Park - where the majority of people of color live - to filter a large amount of air pollution from different sources, as well as reduce extreme heat temperatures."

Paulina López, LLM, Executive Director, Duwamish River Community Coalition

The local community working on restoring the local habitat.

“We live in an urban desert surrounded by industries and pollution. This is what we call environmental racism. The Healing Forest will bring us hope, and an opportunity to filter a tide of polluted air that comes from everywhere, noise buffering, and a good engagement and ownership with the community.”

Paulina López, LLM, Executive Director, Duwamish River Community Coalition
