Program Summary
Branch Out Academy is Tree San Diego’s youth engagement program designed to inspire the next generation of environmental stewards! Through interactive, age-appropriate activities, we bring the importance of trees and urban forestry directly into the classroom.
​
Each session includes a tailored Tree Stewards presentation, introducing students to the vital role trees play in our communities. We also take learning outdoors with a Mini Tree Trek, where students explore their school environment to identify and appreciate the trees around them.
​
To keep the engagement growing, we provide fun, eco-friendly giveaways like stickers and seed packets, encouraging students to take their first steps in tree stewardship at home. Our program is delivered class by class, working closely with teachers to ensure a meaningful and educational experience for every group.
