Tree Planting At Badgouma Park To Bring Shade, Community To Coachella

COACHELLA, CA — Coachella officials will host a tree-planting event Saturday at Bagdouma Park to introduce new plants into the area and bring the community together.

The event will be held from 7 a.m.-10 a.m. Saturday at the Bagdouma pool parking lot, at Douma Street and Avenue 52.

Arborists and guests will plant 58 trees of the species Bauhinia Variegata, Acacia Aneura and Dalbergia Sissoo.

Funding for the trees was provided through the Imperial Irrigation District's $35,000 Public Green Space Grant named Tree for All.
