Trees require maintenance after planting. Come out and help OCF adjust stakes and mulch recently planted trees.
All trees must be stewarded in the urban forest, especially the first three years after planting. Sometimes stakes and straps for newly planted trees need to be replaced or adjusted in the establishment period. Trees also benefit from new mulch. Join our Staff Arborist to assess and provide maintenance for recently planted trees along the South backup of Santa Teresa Blvd. Reach out to treecare@ourcityforest.org with any additional questions.
Please note the meeting address is just the closest meeting point and is not the actual address of the project. We will be helping street trees along the southern side of Santa Teresa Blvd.
