Leafing our Legacy: Tree Distribution Event

Leafing our Legacy: Tree Distribution Event

Join us as we celebrate a decade of cultivating San Diego’s urban forest and championing a sustainable future for our county. In celebration of this significant milestone, we are delighted to unveil our ambitious initiative, “Leafing Our Legacy,” a program that creates a lasting impact by donating 1,000 trees to San Diegans throughout the year.

“Leafing Our Legacy” stands as our commemorative project, marking the culmination of our 10-year journey, contributing to the enrichment of San Diego’s green landscape, and addressing environmental disparities. 

Each month, we will host tree-distribution events providing an opportunity for participants to take home their very own trees! These events serve as a nexus for community engagement, fostering education on urban forestry and a celebration of sustainability.

Our next event will take place on Sunday, March 17th, 2024 from 10 am – 1 pm at

Rising Tide Ranch

2207 Guajome Lake Rd

Vista, CA 92084

Approximately (80) 5 gallon shade trees will be available for pick-up.  To learn more, visit: https://www.treesandiego.org/leafingourlegacy

About The Event

For more than three decades, we have come together as a community of volunteers, philanthropists, business leaders, and nonprofit professionals to recognize and celebrate the incredible volunteers who are our colleagues, friends, family, and neighbors – the heroes of our community!

Every year, we have honored more than 100 volunteers for their dedication to the nonprofit sector. These volunteers are critical to the success of many of San Diego’s nonprofits and the purpose of this event is to honor their service.

We look forward to honoring and uplifting those who give their time, talent, and treasure to their very worthy cause at this year’s North County Philanthropy Council (NCPC) Volunteer Awards Celebration on Friday, November 3, 2023, at California Center for the Arts, Escondido from 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM.
