Tree Planting Project at Mason, Mile Square, and Irvine Regional Parks

The Orange County Conservation Corps will carry out a tree planting initiative across three regional parks in California—Mason Regional Park, Mile Square Regional Park, and Irvine Regional Park—under the oversight of OC Parks staff. The project involves planting, staking, tying, and maintaining several hundred 15-gallon trees, with ongoing care including regular watering and monitoring to ensure their long-term survival. The crew is responsible for the full lifecycle of each tree from installation through the critical early growth period, with a commitment to replace any trees that die within a few months of planting to guarantee project success. All activities are coordinated locally in California, with direct supervision from OC Parks officials to align with regional landscaping and conservation goals. The project is forecasted to be posted on June 18, 2026, and is managed through the California Conservation Corps, with Virginia Gomez, Senior Planner, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. Though specific funding, contract value, or procurement details are not outlined, the scope clearly emphasizes ecological restoration and sustainable land management. The focus on aftercare and guaranteed replacement of failed trees reflects a long-term commitment to ensuring the viability of newly planted vegetation in public parklands, supporting both environmental resilience and community beautification efforts.
