Stories from the Mil-Tree Community

Honoring Bobby Furst

Participant experiences

"Mil-Tree is an exceptional program for the community and its service members. As a former first responder and veteran I can find myself in isolation when I am not feeling up to life. However, Mil-Tree provides an option to living through its many artistic and creative outlets. I never knew that I had the capability to access those parts of me, and it has been eye opening and has breathed a new possibilities into my life."

- Nadia Clark, Captain in Army Reserves and First Responder as Sergeant in Oakland Police Department
