Green Valley residents are eligible for free GSOB injections. This opportunity not only protects the Oaks, but also our community.
The funds run out on March 1, 2025 and it’s very expensive without these grant funds.
"After having 2 our our oaks die in one year, I received a quote for 3 trees close to our house. It was $1200. With this grant 15+ trees on my property were injected for free and all are healthy & thriving." - GV Resident
The process of registering and tagging trees does take time, so please contact Melissa Valente as soon as possible. Contact: melissa.valente@fire.lacounty.gov The chemical goes up into the tree, not the groundwater. Injections must be done during certain wether conditions. No injections happen in the summer when it's hot and the oaks are dormant.
GV oaks have thrived, not died, due to injections beginning in 2016. You can learn more about GSOB and injections on the Green Valley Oak Tree Alliance website.
