TREE FUND

| A deadly infestation of the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer, a beetle about the size of a sesame seed, has spread throughout Orange County. All infected trees need to be replaced. | Sadly, this invasion is found throughout many of the trees in Huntington Beach. Many types of trees are vulnerable, including our Sycamores – like this one. |
NURSERY
 |
HB Trees volunteers were given the opportunity to propagate native milkweed and stage other California-friendly and native plants at the HB Wetlands Conservancy’s plant nursery. This narrow leaf milkweed is used by the Monarch caterpillars to feed on, and for the female to lay her eggs on its leaves. We distribute these plants to anyone interested in planting them in their yards to increase the population of the Monarchs. Potting soil and narrow leaf milkweed starters are needed. |

PROFESSIONAL TREE TRIMMING
 Huge mature tree care requires paid professionals because it is too dangerous for volunteers to attempt. |
CALIFORNIA-NATIVE & CALIFORNIA-
FRIENDLY PLANTS
 |
 |
| California water-wise plants, like this monkey flower, are needed. | With funding, we can continue to replace/add these plants in the parks. |
PROFESSIONAL BOULDER PLACEMENT
In 2018, the north end of the Urban Forest was graced with boulders perfect for sitting on and viewing one of Huntington Beach’s most picturesque places. More boulders are planned to mark the Shipley to Shore Nature Trail.
