Support the cause of saving trees

If not attending in person, it is still possible to support this effort by making a donation. ​All proceeds directly support the community effort to preserve the Pasadena Unified School District's trees from destruction to remediate grounds.

Despite weeks of advocacy, the District has not committed to permanently preserving any of the remaining trees slated for destruction and removal.

Trees at San Rafael Elementary School, including mature and protected trees, were removed during bird nesting season without city tree permits or on-site biological monitoring.

Join us in standing together to protect these remarkable trees before more are lost. ​
