“The Stow Grove Park redwoods are a unique and important part of Goleta’s urban forest, and the upcoming maintenance work will ensure the grove will be enjoyed by future generations of park users,” said George Thomson, Goleta Parks and Open Space manager
To improve public safety and allow for new tree plantings, 40 dead redwoods, one dead coral tree, and numerous dead pittosporum trees will be removed. Additional maintenance in the redwood grove will include updating the irrigation system and spreading mulch to improve water availability for the hundreds of mature redwoods originally planted in the 1930s.

Further maintenance in the redwood grove will include updating the irrigation system and spreading mulch to improve water availability for the hundreds of mature redwoods originally planted in the 1930s.
As part of the long-term maintenance plan for the grove, the city will also be planting about 75 young coastal redwoods and 25 incense cedars. In addition to the work planned for the redwood grove, some 40 trees along the eastern and southern perimeter of Stow Grove Park will be trimmed to remove dead branches and ivy.
