Explore the trees of Balboa Park with this educational brochure and walking tour developed as an outcome of Tree Balboa Park, a 500+ tree planting initiative for Balboa Park, made possible by a grant from Cal Fire.This 3-year project was implemented by the Balboa Park Conservancy in partnership with The City of San Diego, with support from San Diego Urban Corps and Tree San Diego. From 2017-2020, the team planted over 600 climate appropriate trees throughout Balboa Park’s 1,200-acre campus to maximize greenhouse gas reduction, improve air quality and reduce stormwater runoff. As part of the initiative, the Conservancy launched a Tree Steward volunteer program to ensure the newly planted trees are monitored and maintained. To date, there are more than 50 trained volunteers covering over 15 zones parkwide.
