Our Story
Who We Are
FTPP is a non-profit organization based in San Diego, CA. We dedicate our cause to planting fruit trees around our community. Our aim is to teach members of the community the value of contributing to the environment in proactive ways.
We believe that every tree planted is a promise to future generations—a promise of food, clean air, and a stronger community.

Why Trees Matter
Traffic Calming
Tree-lined streets have a traffic calming effect, making neighborhoods safer and more peaceful.
Water Management
Trees slow water runoff and help prevent flash flooding, recharging underground aquifers.
Soil Protection
Root systems bind soil and leaves provide barriers to wind and rain, preventing erosion.
Noise Reduction
Strategically planted trees can significantly reduce noise pollution in urban areas.
Natural Cooling
Trees can cool cities by up to 10°F by shading and releasing water vapor into the air.
Our Mission
What We Do
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide food to alleviate hunger and to enrich the soil as well as the air and water cycles of the earth so we can combat pollution.
Our programs seek to donate trees, training, and aftercare where the harvest will best serve communities for generations—including public schools, city parks, community gardens, food banks, and low-income neighborhoods.
