Ramona Grasslands County Preserve - Tree Planting Event at Holly Oaks County Park

Event Description:
Skip the shopping crowds and join us for Green Friday, San Diego County Parks' annual tradition of connecting with the outdoors the day after Thanksgiving. Instead of hitting the malls, you and your family can give back to the environment through a fun and rewarding tree-planting experience.

Tree Planting Party Details:
This all-ages event is perfect for families, friends, and community groups. Under the guidance of our knowledgeable Park Rangers and Department of Parks and Recreation staff, you’ll learn proper tree planting techniques—no experience necessary! Once trained, you'll get hands-on by planting native trees that will help improve the park and its habitat for generations to come.
