Tree Planting
Branch Out and Plant a Tree
Most gifts are given to only one person. When you plant a tree, you give a gift to everyone. Plant a tree in San Luis Obispo County to celebrate an event, honor someone special, and to know that you have contributed to our park habitats.
A 15-gallon tree costs $75. Following your contribution, all other arrangements to be planted will be handled by park staff. We encourage friends and family to attend the tree planting ceremony, after which you will receive a certificate acknowledging your gift. Please complete the tree order form.
