Tree Planting
maintenance and watering
Nearly 250 trees grow along streets of OB with thanks to the help of local and regional volunteers and donors, including the Ocean Beach Town Council, San Diego People for Trees, Business Improvement District Council of San Diego, Urban Corps and many individual residents and local businesses.
Community Development Block Grant funds have helped with much of the planting costs. Most trees planted are from the list approved by the City Urban Forestry office, due to their minimally intrusive root growth and limited height growth patterns; including, Bradford Pear, New Zealand Christmas, Hong Kong Orchid and Raywood Ashe trees.
Maintenance and watering are fostered by OBCDC with special thanks to significant financial contributions from the Hervey Family Fund at The San Diego Foundation and with the attention and extra effort of Frank the Gardener, Frank Basilico, and his work crew.
Due to the lack of rain in the area and City funding restrictions, additional street tree maintenance and watering is needed; please contact us if you can contribute to help the street trees in OB to survive and thrive.
