Jim Crouch spoke about the Oak Project and showed about 20 people how to plant and raise seedlings Saturday at the Pamo Valley Winery tasting room in Ramona on Saturday. Seedlings of several species were available - for free. Some attendees also used provided soil to pot their own. #trees #oaks

Trees help your heart, too! A study, led by the University of California, Davis, showed that urban neighborhoods with more visible trees had lower rates of cardiovascular disease. #trees

Living near trees may protect the heart in ways grass does not — Earth.com
Cities often feel crowded, noisy, and stressful. Concrete roads and tall buildings dominate daily surroundings. Green areas offer relief and help people feel calmer and healthier.

We’re proud to share that TSD distributed 2,504 trees to San Diego County residents in 2025 through our Leafing Our Legacy program & partner-supported events. The trees are helping to grow a cooler, greener, & more climate-resilient urban forest. We strive to distribute more trees in 2026. #trees

Branching out: Residents of Aguanga in Riverside County have asked for help from The Oak Project. And founder Jim Crouch did a demonstration on Saturday at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, where dozens of people potted sprouting acorns and learned about our oak restoration efforts. #trees #oaks

San Diego County has had plenty of rain this winter, which is great for most trees. What it hasn't had much of is cold, & that can have negative impacts on fruit production. Many stone fruits may not meet their minimum number of "chill hours" (with temps between 32° & 45°) for good yields. #trees

A recent acorn-gathering venture took The Oak Project out to a beautiful area near Ramona. The focus has shifted to finding suitable homes and stewards for the approximately 10,000 seedlings we're raising for distribution in 2026. #oaks #trees

Fall colors come later in San Diego County, often in December. At left is a crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia), known as much for its colorful blooms in summer as its fall foliage. At right is a liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua) or sweetgum, whose leaves are shaped like maple leaves. #trees

The "radicle" is the first root to emerge from a germinating acorn. It penetrates the soil, pulls in nutrients and anchors the seedling. #oaks #trees

Englemann oaks are classified as threatened because of habitat loss. Restoring Englemanns, which are native to just a small section of Southern California and northern Baja, is part of The Oak Project’s focus. Seedlings being raised in pots now will be ready for distribution in early 2026. #oaks

Another successful harvest on the outskirts of Jamul on Monday yielded hundreds of Englemann and scrub oak acorns. Thousands of seedlings from multiple oak species should be ready for distribution by the spring. #trees #oaks
