Canopy For Climate
A City of Oceanside Program
Program Summary
The Oceanside Canopy for Climate Tree Giveaway Program is a partnership between the City of Oceanside and Tree San Diego designed to expand tree canopy across our community and support local climate action. Through this program, Oceanside residents and businesses can receive trees and resources at no cost to help plant and care for them on their private property.
Trees provide many benefits to our community, including:
-
Cooling neighborhoods and reducing urban heat
-
Improving air quality
-
Supporting biodiversity and urban habitat
-
Improving soil health and reducing erosion
-
Enhancing neighborhood beauty and livability
-
Providing shade that can help lower energy use
​
Expanding Oceanside’s tree canopy also supports implementation of the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) by helping cool streets and homes, reduce energy demand, capture and store carbon, and strengthen the community’s resilience to rising temperatures.
​
Program Partnership
The City of Oceanside is partnering with Tree San Diego, a regional nonprofit dedicated to expanding urban tree canopy across San Diego County. With support from the City of Oceanside, Tree San Diego manages program registration, tree distribution, and participant support. Together, we are working to bring more trees to Oceanside’s neighborhoods and businesses.
