Enhancing Ventura's neighborhoods by planting and caring for trees.

Join Our Tree Team.

Our mission: The Ventura Tree Alliance focuses on enhancing Ventura’s urban canopy, to beautify Ventura and contribute to counteracting climate change. Our goals are to inspire, engage and support Venturans in planting and caring for trees through education, advocacy, volunteerism and fundraising.

Dream it.

For our children, their children and many generations to come, caring for Ventura’s trees will mitigate heat and offer shade.

Grow it.

It starts with an empty tree well and a small sapling in hand, but it ends with a shady neighborhood filled with bird song and a nice place to park.

Care for it.

With your donation, a little time and effort, we can make a difference today, for our community tomorrow.

Share it.

This is a community effort, so bring your family and your friends, and let’s make a difference together.

And, we’ve only just begun. If you’d like to add your name to our growing volunteer list, contact us through email at christy@christyweir.com and share how you’d like to help. We will have opportunities including helping to plant, maintain and water trees and as we grow, more opportunities will become available.
