The City offers this opportunity as an innovative way to raise funds for open space maintenance. You may adopt an oak in honor or memory of a loved one or business associate, and help support our City's 15,135 acres of public open space.

About the Program

• Participants can be individuals, service groups, businesses, or organizations.
• Adoptions can be a gift to an individual, a memorial, or to commemorate a special event.
• Adopted trees are on public land owned by the City, Conejo Recreation & Park District, or Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency.
• Funds raised through this program are deposited in an account to be used only for open space purposes.
