TreeLodi and Lodi Lake
Tree Lodi performs several specific projects and activities at Lodi Lake that focus on tree planting, stewardship, and community education:
Tree Planting Projects: Tree Lodi has helped plant trees at Lodi Lake, including participation in notable efforts such as the Centennial Cork Oak Trees project. These plantings are often done in cooperation with city staff and community volunteers to enhance the park’s tree canopy and natural beauty[1].
Arbor Day and Earth Day Events: The organization is an active participant in annual Arbor Day and Earth Day celebrations at Lodi Lake. During these events, Tree Lodi organizes tree planting activities and educational outreach to promote environmental stewardship[1].
Youth and Community Involvement: Tree Lodi emphasizes engaging local youth and community groups, such as Boy Scouts, Brownie Scouts, and students from area schools and churches, in hands-on tree planting and care activities at Lodi Lake. These projects foster a sense of stewardship and environmental responsibility among younger generations[1].
Stewardship and Maintenance: Beyond planting, Tree Lodi is involved in the ongoing stewardship of Lodi Lake’s trees, which includes developing programs to care for both mature and newly planted trees. This may involve mulching, watering, and monitoring tree health[1].
Educational Demonstrations: The organization provides demonstrations and resources for the public on proper tree planting techniques, pruning, and general tree health. These educational efforts are sometimes part of larger community events at Lodi Lake[1].
Beautification Projects: Tree Lodi collaborates with the City of Lodi and other partners on local beautification projects, which include improving the tree canopy and overall landscape of Lodi Lake[1].
Tree Lodi’s mission at Lodi Lake centers on preserving mature trees, protecting new plantings, and promoting tree appreciation through education, stewardship, and community involvement[1].
