ADOPT A TREE

Our Adopt-a-Tree events invite community members to take home a free tree and be part of growing a greener, healthier National City. Families, neighbors, and local volunteers come together to choose a tree, learn which option fits their space, and get simple guidance on planting and care—so everyone leaves feeling confident and excited to watch their tree thrive.
These events are more than a giveaway—they’re a hands-on way to build pride in our neighborhoods, strengthen community connections, and invest in long-term environmental benefits like shade, cleaner air, and cooler streets. Whether you’re a first-time planter or a seasoned gardener, Adopt-a-Tree is an easy, welcoming way to make a lasting difference right at home.
