Agencies coordinate with one another through various committees and advisory bodies, including Reimagining San Francisco, the Biodiversity Interagency Working Group and the Urban Forestry Council (see Figure 2). Reimagining San Francisco is a city-wide alliance of organizations and individuals pursuing a variety of sustainability objectives. These goals include making 30% of San Francisco biodiverse green space by 2030 (also called 30 by 30), creating a comprehensive network of biodiverse corridors for local wildlife and people, and ensuring everyone in the city has access to nature.The Biodiversity Interagency Working Group is the key committee managing the Biodiversity Program. It supports collaborative conservation planning and management, ecological restoration and public education. The Urban Forestry Council advises city departments on urban forestry issues, including developing the urban forest plan, conducting public education, securing resources and developing standards of tree care.
