Here at SacTree, we have made some adaptations to keep our community safe while also continuing our work stewarding our urban forest.

A new state law requires all new homes to have rooftop solar, and while solar is a great option as a clean energy source, solar panels can conflict with urban trees. Here's how you can help.

When we see something often enough, sometimes we assume that must be the best way to get the job done. Unfortunately, these pruning practices are common throughout the Sacramento area, and many people continue using them simply because that's how they've always seen others do it. When pruning your trees or hiring an arborist, make sure to stay away from these harmful practices.

We must plant more trees and protect mature ones to ensure health and safety for all Sacramentans. 

Summer in Sacramento can be hard on trees and shrubs, but our Urban Ecology team has watering trees down to a science.

March 7-14 is California Arbor Week, when people all over the state come together to celebrate trees and the many benefits they provide. Join us for tree plantings, documentary screenings, a tree fair, and lots of fun!
