Treejectory+ is a paid workforce development program designed to open doors to careers in urban forestry and environmental work. Through virtual training, professional mentorship, and real-world field experience, participants gain the skills and confidence needed to step into the green workforce. As part of Tree San Diego’s Plan & Plant initiative, participants contribute to the planting and care of thousands of trees in priority areas across the region. This means candidates not just learning about urban forestry - they are actively strengthening neighborhoods while building their own professional experience. Throughout the program, they will train alongside ISA Certified Arborists and urban forestry professionals, learning proper planting and maintenance techniques, industry best practices, and emerging tools such as GIS mapping and drone-assisted technology. Candidates will also gain direct exposure to sector experts, attend professional conferences, and expand their network within the field. By the end of Treejectory+, they will leave with paid field experience, professional references, expanded industry connections, and a clearer pathway into careers in urban forestry, arboriculture, sustainability, and related environmental fields. Treejectory+ is about building practical skills, expanding opportunity, and investing in both people and places - one cohort at a time.
