Sac State's vast growth of trees, in addition to creating a beautiful campus setting, also provides significant environmental benefits and supports the University's commitment to sustainability.

We've teamed up with the City of Rancho Cordova and SMUD to host a project in the Cordova Gardens neighborhood and at Cordova Gardens Elementary School! Although we can't come together for big planting events, neighbors can welcome newly planted trees in their own front yards while we livestream an educational celebration of the project. In addition, we are holding a Chalk Art Tree Contest and the winning household will receive a $25 gift card from the City!

In partnership with Cordova Recreation & Park District, Sacramento County, and SMUD, we will be adding more shade to the Cordova Golf Course links! Tune in on Facebook Live or Zoom to get an exclusive look at the first of the new trees going in. We will be hearing from Cordova Golf Course about some of the issues that face trees in this region and our Expert Forester about tree care and species selection in drought prone areas, followed by a Q&A for those who join us through Zoom.
