Tree Fresno

Please enjoy our latest Tree Fresno quarterly newsletter. I ask you to pay special attention to our "Living Holiday Tree" program, where you can choose that special tree to decorate your home, and then donate it to us for planting in the new year!

This recent video showcases Tree Fresno's thriving water-wise garden, and features our tree technician, Mark! The soil amendment mentioned in the clip is a donation to Tree Fresno.

Tree Fresno had a very productive Halloween last Saturday in Fresno, meeting new friends and working with our community partners, Keep Fresno Beautiful and Every Neighborhood Partnership. Our tree technician, Mark led volunteer tree plantings at Tupman and Chandler Parks. Looking forward to many more tree plantings to come!

Thanks for sharing this homegrown tree planting!

This morning, a family worked together with Tree Fresno and the City of Fresno to plant 12 new street trees with irrigation on Pottle Avenue. Can't wait to see these young trees grow. We planted Chinese Pistache, Dessert Willow, and Natchez Crepe Myrtle. The color from all of the foliage and flowers on this street will be beautiful.

Upgrades and expansion to irrigation serving drought tolerant trees would definitely be a plus!

"Planting a tree has always been an act of selflessness, beauty, and optimism. As the climate changes, humanity is finding new seasons of living in balance."
