Your Children's Trees is run by students who wish to better the beauty and environment of Santa Barbara by planting native trees. Our current project is the establishment of a native Oak Woodland at Coal Oil Point Reserve. We provide technical urban forestry expertise and planting equipment for organizations interested in tree planting projects in Santa Barbara. Occasional tree plantings are conducted in the Santa Barbara area to improve coastal runoff for a overall healthier ecosystem. We wish to:
1) improve storm water management - reducing runoff pollution in waterways leading to the ocean
2) Improve air quality benefits
3) Use seeds and shoots from local watersheds to sustain local genetic pools
We also wish to educate youth about the important role of science in preserving nature through "Science Nights" at local schools. We will post upcoming events on both this page and twitter page
Anyone is welcome to join who has an interest in any of these goals! Whether its the plantings of small acorn shoots or educating local youth about the trees around them, we'd love you to join our cause.
