OB Holiday Tree Wanted: Donate Your Tree for a Festive Cause
Do you have a tree in your yard that you’ve been thinking about removing? Here’s your chance to give it a second life—right in the heart of Ocean Beach.
The OB Community Foundation is currently searching for this year’s OB Holiday Tree to be displayed at the end of Newport Avenue during the December festivities. If your tree fits the bill, not only will it become a beloved part of the neighborhood’s holiday tradition, but the Foundation will also take care of cutting and removing it—free of charge! (Please note: stump removal is not included.)
To qualify, the tree should:
Resemble a pine tree (Canary Island pines are not eligible)
Be approximately 25 to 45 feet tall (about two to three stories)
Be located in or near Ocean Beach or Point Loma
Be easily accessible (not blocked by power lines or located more than 50 feet from the curb)
This is a great opportunity for homeowners with trees that are leaning, have root issues, or simply need to come down for other reasons.
If you’re interested, please email the OB Community Foundation at info@obcommunityfoundation.org. Be sure to include your name, phone number, and the address of the tree.
Let your tree shine one last time—at the center of OB’s holiday celebration!
