Tree Treks at Blue Sky Ecological Reserve

AUGUST WALK: Blue Sky Ecological Reserve

Tree Treks is a community engagement and building program designed to connect San Diego residents with their local parks and trails while fostering a shared interest in trees and native plants. The program's primary objective is to cultivate a sense of community by encouraging neighbors to bond over learning about the diverse flora within their local parks. As participants embark on the monthly Tree Trek, they will have the opportunity to engage in an arborist-led conversation that will focus on the identification and characteristics of trees, their benefits, and the history of the parks where they grow.
The selected Tree Trek parks are located throughout San Diego County, ensuring accessibility for a broad audience. Utilizing publicly-available TreePlotter mapping software, this platform will inventory walk routes and provide tree eco-benefits information “live” at any time.
Attendees who complete all 10 Tree Treks events will receive their own tree sapling and seed packet, promoting environmental stewardship and allowing participants to contribute to the growth of our urban forest.
