I Dig Long Beach Tree Planting in North Long Beach

Dear Neighborhood Leaders and Urban Foresters —

I am happy to share that 10 new street trees are coming to North Long Beach.  Volunteers are welcome to help plant and deeply water the trees at this small, socially-distanced, outdoor tree planting event.

Come help plant and water the trees!

I Dig Long Beach Tree Planting in North Long Beach

Thursday, September 23, 2021

9 a.m. – noon

Meeting Location:

Meet at Artesia Boulevard & Lime Avenue

Long Beach, CA

A total of 10 trees will be planted in newly installed sidewalk cuts along Artesia Boulevard.  This weekday tree planting can include about 30-50 volunteers so that everyone has an opportunity to help plant and deep water the trees.

Would your group like to be a volunteer partner for this event? 

Volunteers of all ages are welcome at this event to help plant and water these young trees.  Attached are volunteer waivers you can bring with you on planting day.

No experience is needed, we will train you.  

Can you and/or your organization serve as Water Brigade volunteers to help water the newly planted trees on planting day?

Volunteers are needed to help make sure each tree is deep watered with 15 gallons on planting day to help them get off to a good start. 

Can you and/or your organization assist with watering the trees during their first year?

Thank you to the following organizations who have pledged to help plant the trees:

Wrap the Kids

Orange County’s Credit Union
