$35,000 Goal

Since 1982, the Sacramento Tree Foundation has been engaging our community to plant and tend to over 1.5 million trees throughout the Sacramento region. 

We recognize the many ways that trees make our communities both livable and lovable, so we prioritize working with neighbors in under-canopied communities to make sure all neighborhoods can enjoy the benefits of our urban forest.

The health and vibrancy of our communities is directly linked to tree canopy coverage. Trees help to:

  • Improve public health and mental wellbeing
  • Protect our community from pollutants in the air and water
  • Provide shady places to play and recreate
  • Reduce temperatures and lower cooling costs
  • Honor the rich historical, social, and cultural diversity of our region 

By educating and engaging community members from all walks of life and from all neighborhoods, we ensure this precious resource enriches our entire region with the remarkable benefits of a thriving urban forest. Your support means a green, healthy, and equitable future where everyone benefits!


Mission

The Sacramento Tree Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to grow thriving communities through stewardship of our urban forest.

Needs

The Sacramento Tree Foundation: Full Lifecycle Stewardship

The Sacramento Tree Foundation relies on donor generosity to educate and engage our community to plant, protect, and value trees. Your support helps us steward the urban forest throughout its full lifecycle:

Harvesting: Each fall, volunteers gather 10,000 acorns annually to replant our region's native oak woodlands.

Sowing: We distribute seedling kits to schools and youth organizations, inspiring the next generation of tree stewards.

Planting: Thousands of volunteers help plant over 12,000 climate-adapted trees yearly, especially in under-canopied communities.

Tending: We provide free workshops and training, irrigation, mulching, and disease prevention to ensure a healthy urban forest.

Reclaiming: We honor fallen trees by transforming them into lumber products, extending their beauty and carbon sequestration value.

Equity Statement

Our healthy forest is a diverse one.

Our mission is to grow thriving communities through stewardship of our urban forest. We seek to honor the diversity and roots of this region by prioritizing equity internally and externally. We bring our whole selves and celebrate one another. From seed to slab, we work with communities to create livable and lovable communities for everyone.

And by everyone, we mean everyone.
