Local University Plants Nearly 300 Trees in Newport Beach Park

As a part of the Root for Change Tree Planting Initiative, Stanbridge University planted 273 trees and native plants in the City of Newport Beach.

Newport Beach, CA, February 04, 2020 --(PR.com)-- As a part of the continuing Root for Change Tree Planting Initiative, Stanbridge University volunteers will plant 273 trees and native plants within Harbor View Nature Park in the City of Newport Beach.

While Newport Beach mourns the loss of its landmark trees after a decision was recently made to remove those in unstable condition, local students aim to bring new greenery by planting nearly 300 trees and plants at Harbor View Nature Park.

“These plantings will serve to beautify the park and provide habitat for birds and other wildlife,” stated the City of Newport Beach representative. “This event reinforces the already existing sense of community and pride in the City’s unique amenities.”

As a direct response to the terrible environmental loss caused by recent wildfire and other natural causes, Stanbridge University created the Root for Change Tree Planting Initiative, aimed at enhancing the environment through water catchment. Stanbridge University plans to continue planting trees across Southern California to help build a better environment for all.

As an institution, Stanbridge University looks forward to further partnership with the City of Newport Beach as Stanbridge seeks to make a positive impact locally and globally for the greater good.

Shadetree Partnership Nursery has partnered with Stanbridge University to provide native plants at no cost for the entire initiative in order to promote community growth. Shadetree Partnership Inc. is a volunteer-based organization that promotes more livable communities through the planting and stewardship of shade trees and other nursery stock.
