The City of San Francisco has begun its first ever citywide street tree census, EveryTreeSF. That means we’re mapping and recording every street tree in the City! While previous estimates have ranged between 100,000 - 115,000, we’ll know the exact number of street trees – along with their location, species and condition – once EveryTreeSF is completed this summer.

As part of this effort, we’re offering a contest to see who can come closest to guessing the total number counted once the census has been completed.

Entries closest to the actual final number will WIN the following prizes:

Grand Prize

• Tree Tribute – a street tree planted in your name by Friends of the Urban Forest
• $100 gift card to Sloat Garden CenterM
• Membership to San Francisco Botanical Garden

Runner-up prizes include

• Tickets to Nightlife at the California Academy of Sciences
• The Trees of San Francisco book by Mike Sullivan
• EveryTreeSF custom canvas messenger bags
• Tickets to the San Francisco Botanical Garden’s Walking Tour

Enter the contest here and let us know how many street trees you think there are. One entry per person please!
