DriWater assisted with United Voices for Healthier Communities and the San Diego Regional Urban Forests Council “Healthy CommuniTrees” 1,000 tree planting program in October, 2010. DriWater chose an elementary school where trees may not be irrigated, tremendously increasing survival odds. Cub Scout and sororities volunteers where instructed and then allowed to install DriWater on 15 gallon trees donated by Valley Crest Tree Company. The San Diego Urban Corps provided well-trained planting and mulching assistance. Ron Roberts, San Diego County Board of Supervisor gave a motivational talk expressing gratitude and the importance of tree planting with respect to improving our urban environment. Mike Palat of West Coast Arborists and chapter president of the SDRUFC demonstrated proper tree planting and staking techniques to the approximately 100 volunteers of all ages that mobilized at the Balboa Park staging grounds.
