Huntington Beach Tree Society

Tons of massive boulders are being placed along the Shipley to Shore Trail thanks to our donors.

Local Daisy Troop #7367 earned badges by cleaning up the Urban Forest. These hard-working young ladies also performed a heartwarming skit as a tribute to HB Tree Society President Jean Nagy. Their lines included: “Did you know it all started with a lady named Jean who thought there were not enough green spaces in Huntington Beach? … That was before we were born! … She sounds like the kind of woman that lives up to the Girl Scout Law … Yes! We can make the world a better place too!”
