We welcome individuals and groups of all ages and backgrounds! No need to worry if you don’t have any familiarity with iNaturalist or Survey123, we are happy to get you started! We believe it is incredibly important to spend time with trees and be reminded of how trees provide shade, clean air, beauty, places to socialize, and carbon sequestration. greatly improving the lives of everyone around them.
There will be two events with the same activities, one location in San Diego, and one location in North County San Diego.
