SEEAG Christmas Tree Fundraiser: Preorder Now For Dec. 1 Pickup
Proceeds will help SEEAG fund agriculture education and healthy eating programs for kids in Santa Barbara County.
Sustainably forested silver-tip fir trees from Northern California will be available for pickup on Friday, December 1 during “Christmas At The Nursery” at Plantel Nurseries (2275 E. Clark Ave.) in Santa Maria. Proceeds from the Christmas tree fundraiser will help fund Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) agriculture education and healthy eating programs for kids in Santa Barbara County.
Trees are available for pick up only from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on December 1 or can be delivered ($75 delivery charge).
The trees are donated by Rob Paulus, a retired Cal Fire Battalion Chief, and his family to support SEEAG and its ag-education efforts. Paulus has a 200-acre parcel of private land near the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range. He thins the overgrown forest on the property to reduce the risk of forest fires and to help restore the natural environment.

About SEEAG
Founded in 2008, Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that aims to help young students understand the origins of their food by bridging
the gap between agriculture and consumption through its agricultural education programming. SEEAG’s “The Farm Lab” program teaches schoolchildren about the origins of their food and
the importance of local farmland by providing schools with classroom agricultural education and free field trips to farms. Through this and other SEEAG programs, over 100,000 elementary school students in Central and Southern California have increased their understanding of the food journey.
