I-California ReLeaf imemezele namuhla ukuthi amaqembu omphakathi angama-25 esifundazweni sonke azothola isamba semali elinganiselwa ku-$200,000 yoxhaso lokunakekela izihlahla kanye namaphrojekthi okutshala ngohlelo lwe-California ReLeaf 2012 Urban Forestry and Education Grant Program. Izibonelelo zomuntu ngamunye zisuka ku-$2,700 ziye ku-$10,000.
Abamukeli besibonelelo sikahulumeni bahlanganyela ezinhlelweni ezihlukahlukene zokutshala izihlahla kanye nokugcinwa kwezihlahla okuzothuthukisa amahlathi asemadolobheni emiphakathini esetshenziswa kakhulu futhi enganakekelwa kakhulu esifundazweni sonke. Iphrojekthi ngayinye iqukethe nengxenye ebalulekile yemfundo yezemvelo ezokhulisa ukubonakala kokuthi la maphrojekthi ayizici ezibalulekile ekusekeleni umoya ohlanzekile, amanzi ahlanzekile, kanye nemiphakathi enempilo. "Amahlathi aqinile, asimeme asemadolobheni nasemphakathini afaka isandla ngqo kwezomnotho, impilo yenhlalo kanye nemvelo yaseCalifornia," kusho u-Chuck Mills, uMphathi Wohlelo lwe-California ReLeaf Grants. "Ngeziphakamiso zabo ezixhaswe ngemali, laba abathola isibonelelo sikahulumeni abangama-25 bakhombisa ubuhlakani nokuzibophezela ekwenzeni izwe lethu libe yindawo engcono yokuhlala kulesi sizukulwane nezizukulwane ezizayo."
Uhlelo lwe-California ReLeaf Urban Forestry and Education Grant luxhaswe ngenkontileka noMnyango Wezamahlathi Nokuvikelwa Komlilo wase-California kanye neSifunda IX se-Ejensi Yokuvikela Imvelo.
"I-ReLeaf iyaziqhenya ngokuba yingxenye ebalulekile yokwakha umphakathi ngokunakekela izihlahla, ukutshala izihlahla kanye namaphrojekthi okufundisa ngemvelo eCalifornia," kusho uMqondisi Omkhulu uJoe Liszewski. “Kusukela ngo-1992, sitshale imali engaphezu kuka-$9 million emizamweni yamahlathi yasemadolobheni ehloselwe ukwenza iGolden State yethu ibe luhlaza.”
Umgomo we-California ReLeaf uwukunikeza amandla imizamo emazingeni aphansi kanye nokwakha ubudlelwano obunobuhlakani obulondoloza, buvikele, futhi buthuthukise amahlathi asemadolobheni nasemphakathini aseCalifornia. Sisebenza kuzwelonke, sigqugquzela ubumbano phakathi kwamaqembu asekelwe emphakathini, abantu ngabanye, izimboni, nama-ejensi kahulumeni, sikhuthaza ngayinye ukuthi ifake isandla ekuphileni kwamadolobha kanye nokuvikela indawo yethu ezungezile ngokutshala nokunakekela izihlahla.
