Your Children’s Trees

Your Children’s Trees is a volunteer non-profit urban forestry organization. We work throughout Santa Barbara County to grow, plant, and care for trees primarily in public areas and to provide educational outreach to schools and the community about the benefits of trees.

​We work in conjunction with the campus-recognized organization Your Children’s Trees at UCSB; current locations include Harder Growing Grounds at UCSB, Elings Growing Grounds at Elings Park, and local schools, among other sites.

Your Childrens Trees at UCSB

Your Children's Trees is a student community-based non-profit organization founded in coordination with the UCSB organization of the same name for the care of Santa Barbara County's urban forests. Planting trees in our cities helps bring back nature and provides many other benefits, such as urban beautification, increasing property values, cleaning the air, and controlling water runoff. Your Children's Trees works to keep our urban forests healthy by planting and caring for trees in public areas such as schools and parks. We also undertake various educational pursuits, such as participating in science nights at local elementary schools and conducting environmental restoration plantings in ecological reserves. It's important that we take care of the trees around us. These are not just our trees, but your children's trees.
