You know Balboa Park for its museums, beautiful architecture and hundreds of acres of open space. But what about the trees that make up so much of the park?
Forever Balboa Park, a nonprofit organization, hosted its annual community event Plant It Forward Friday to acknowledge and celebrate the park’s urban forest.
With the help of SDG&E’s Environmental Champions Grant, City Heights Preparatory Charter School students were able to plant trees. Instead of being in the classroom, 16-year-old Niya Ombeni and her classmates took their learning outside.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters.
“The Torrey Pines will get very tall and they’ll hopefully provide a lot of canopy coverage and the Engelmann Oaks will be on the outside and be a little shorter,” Galvez said. “The reason that’s important is that we don’t want really large trees that are going to be under sidewalks.
For those wanting to plant a tree of their own, you could get one for free. As part of Forever Balboa Park’s Plant It Forward event, the first 100 people who show up at Plaza De Panama between 9 a.m. and noon Saturday will get a free sapling tree.
