What happens to our elms once they get Dutch elm disease?

With the help of the community, we are hard at work transforming this area from a barren, tree-less space into a thriving wildlife habitat and recreational trail.

Trees witness everything from little everyday moments to the milestones that define our lives. When they have to be removed, it can be a painful loss for a family that shared so many memories under those branches. Read about why one family chose to donate their tree to Urban Wood Rescue.

Since Sacramento's acorn crop was smaller than usual last fall, our harvest volunteers went all the way to the Bay Area. This turn of events proved especially serendipitous when the Wine Country fires broke out several weeks later. Read about how 3rd and 4th graders are growing seedlings to help us reforest these woodlands.

Sacramento, the City of Trees. Our streets canopied by that signature tree. The stately…“birch”? The stately…“poplar”? No, stately only comes to mind to describe the elm!

A huge thank you to our volunteers who came together from all over Sacramento to plant 100+ trees at Stone Creek and the Bear Hollow Reservoir in Rancho Cordova earlier this month! Catch the recap here. 

My name is Jazmyn and I am in my third year as an Environmental Studies student at Sacramento State University. 

Hey there! My name is Katie Gerhart and I’m extremely humbled to call myself the Sacramento Tree Foundation’s new Volunteer Program Coordinator.

Hey there! My name is Crystal and I couldn't be more excited to start this new chapter with the Sacramento Tree Foundation.

Thanks to the Sacramento Tree Foundation, SMUD, The Growing Company, and all our community volunteers, the Sacramento SPCA now has a beautiful, shady place to walk the dogs they're sheltering. Building it was a blast too!
