In 2019, The Tree Tracker platform was updated to Plan-It Geo's Tree Plotter software. This will allow us to expand our usage among our partner organizations as well as eventually open up the project to the public, restoring the intent of the original San Diego tree map effort!

Tree San Diego has partnered with the Balboa Park Conservancy and Calfire to greatly enhance our mapping capabilities. The new San Diego Tree Tracker uses technology from Plan-It Geo. We are rolling out our new mapping capabilities to better take care of our trees across the county. You can see the new map at www.sandiegotreetracker.org.🌳

Pretty good reporting for the most part, but sad for all the lost and downed trees.

Local arborists and meteorologists say circumstances uniquely aligned one weekend last January to down more than 500 trees. It was a big loss for a city that’s been ramping up efforts to boost the local tree population.

Of course.

How do tall trees supply water to pinnacle leaves?

This is so wise!

Trees muffle the sound of traffic from nearby streets, and mask unsightly concrete walls. Super helpful to those of us who live in a city like LA!

Kudos to NASA! San Diego is one of those "at risk" urban places, where our tree cover hovers around 4%-8%. Even the best areas are woefully lacking trees.

Just get more trees in your life.

Nothing simpler than mulching the soil to reduce evaporation, improve tilth, and look nice. Even better is to allow the tree to do it naturally. The leaves usually know where to fall.

Thanks to our Texas A&M friends for this great graphic on MULCHING TREES. Trees do not need need mulching that goes vertical (up), they prefer mulch that goes horizontal (out). 3-4 inches of mulch is the recommended depth. Keep mulch off the trunk. No mulch volcanoes! THANKS!

Trees aren’t just beautiful and reduce the impacts of climate change. Did you know trees have economic benefits, too? A well-planted can raise property values by as much as 15%.
