The Greening Research in Tacoma project (or G.R.I.T.) is an effort to understand more about how human
health and increased greening intersect in South Tacoma. This unique collaboration of the Tacoma Tree
Foundation, The Nature Conservancy in Washington, the University of Washington, and the City of
Tacoma is funded by an award from the Puget Sound Partnership and a grant from the U.S. Forest
Service.
