Sacramento to Celebrate National NeighborWoods Month
With summer ending and the rain soon upon us, October is a great month to get out and get dirty!
To celebrate National NeighborWoods Month, the Sacramento Tree Foundation will host a series of tree related trainings, awareness events, and plantings. These events are some of more than 100 regreening, educational, and training efforts throughout the country being promoted during October as part of NeighborWoods Month. NeighborWoods Month is a national campaign of the Alliance for Community Trees (ACT). The Sacramento Tree Foundation is a member of ACT’s NeighborWoods Network.
“It’s great to be partnering with a number of great organizations also focused on the livability of our neighborhoods,” said Jacobe Caditz, Sacramento Shade Director of Sacramento Tree Foundation. “Part of our goal is to draw attention to the good work being done at the grassroots level all across the country to improve urban and community forests.”
