We live in an urban forest.
The Sacramento Tree Foundation is a nonprofit organization leading efforts to build the best urban forest for the Sacramento region. We work with community partners and volunteers to bring trees to every neighborhood, business district, park, school and street. Our goal is to support the planting of 5 million new trees in our region by the year 2025.
We developed a roadmap to achieve the 5-million tree goal. We called it a "Greenprint" for the region. Find out more about Greenprint and how it affects you.
Our urban forest has much to offer — step out and explore! Learn how trees grow, see the types of trees we offer or find out about trainings and classes we offer.
Volunteers are the lifeline of our mission. Whether in the classroom or knee-deep in nature, we offer many opportunities to learn more about our urban forest and native environments. Volunteers just like you have helped us plant more than 1.25 million trees over the past 25 years. The Tree Foundation focuses on linking your strengths and interests with tools and opportunities to enliven our programs. We can't do it without you!
Our nonprofit mission is to build the best urban forest for the Sacramento region. This means we focus on education, advocacy and leadership in tree planting projects and campaigns. By becoming a member, you'll be supporting our mission and learning more about the urban forest around you.
Today, our community is becoming aware of the benefits of trees and their contribution to cleaner air, energy savings, water quality, and climate change. These benefits can affect the communities where you live, work and play. Please give to our community and help build a lasting legacy.
