Bakersfield Plants More Trees for Healthier Future | Bakersfield News

Bakersfield is going all out for trees—planting more, protecting them, and making sure every cut counts. The city’s Tree Advisory Group has approved a list of ideal trees for parks and streets, with strict rules to protect nesting birds from February to August, and only certified arborists handling trims. Thanks to community pressure and new funding—$500K total, $225K newly approved—the city is doubling down on planting in high-need areas, replacing every removed tree, and even planning for heritage trees and public education. It’s not just about shade—it’s about building a healthier, greener Bakersfield for everyone. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
