Go Green on Valentine’s Day

Why buy your loved one a flower bouquet when you can honor them with a tree, bench or picnic table that will stand for years at a city park?

Several tree sizes and species are available for donation starting at $100 for a 15-gallon tree, $200 for a 24-inch tree, and $700 for a 36-inch tree.

A picnic table can be donated for $1,000, and a park bench for $1,400.

All donated trees, tables and benches will be maintained by the city for the duration of their useful  life.

More information and application forms are available online (click here and scroll to bottom), or at the Santee Community Services Department, Building 6, 10601 Magnolia Avenue, Santee, CA 92071.

Questions via phone may be directed to Parks and Landscape Supervisor Annette Saul at (619) 258-4195 ext. 101.
