The Environmental Justice Team would like you to join us in our Tree Planting Project. Please take the challenge and plant a tree! All trees are good for the environment, but native trees require less care and less water. Here is a list of native trees recommended by the Redlands Conservancy:
- White alder
- Black walnut
- Desert willow
- Sycamore
- Engelman and black oak
- Palo verde
- Red shank
- Bishop pine
- California cypress
These tree also do well in this area:
- Pomegranates
- Pecan tree
- Fruit trees
Native trees can be purchased at the Tree of Life Nursery and Johnny’s Nursery. Their trees have been grown here and are acclimated to our climate.
