Launched Arbor Day 2026, OC Loves Trees is an Orange County initiative designed to inspire an appreciation for trees and expand the County's urban canopy.

Through the program, the County will plant hundreds of native trees in public spaces and neighborhoods over the next several years while providing education about the benefits of trees, including shade, cooler neighborhoods, improved air quality, reduced energy costs, and enhanced wildlife habitat.

Tree plantings are funded through revenue generated by mitigation provisions in Orange County's updated Arbor Ordinance, implemented in 2024. The ordinance provides better protection to trees during development and prioritizes adding new trees to the County's urban canopy.

Under the ordinance, developers must preserve mature, ecologically significant trees on-site, replant more trees than they remove, or contribute to a fund used by the County to plant trees.

    Trees make the best friends. They never leaf your side.
    You can always count on them to provide shade on hot days, improve air quality, create wildlife habitat, and make our neighborhoods healthier and more beautiful for generations to come.
    On July 11, we planted 10 new trees at the Samaritan Resource Center as part of our new OC Loves Trees program.
    • 3 Red Cedars
    • 3 Bald Cypress
    • 2 Sycamores
    • 2 Live Oaks
    These are just the first of many. Through OC Loves Trees, we're planting hundreds of trees at parks, community centers, and neighborhoods across Orange County to help create a greener, cooler, and more resilient community.
