Volunteer to work on a portion of Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. We will be planting native trees and shrubs in abandoned agricultural land. This is a great area for bird watching so bring your binoculars! This event does require a 3/4 to 1 1/2 mile walk to the planting area, depending on road conditions.
This is a special opportunity to visit areas of Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge that are not usually open to the public. All training and tools will be provided by the Sacramento Tree Foundation.
We want your time with us to be a success! Please prepare for this event in the following ways:
- Have a healthy breakfast
- Wear closed toed shoes and bring a water bottle
- Bring gloves if you have them
- Wear layers, a rain coat is suggested during winter months

Mission Statement
The Sacramento Tree Foundation is a community benefit organization working to grow thriving communities through stewardship of our urban forest.
Description
Since 1982, we have been building partnerships and empowering communities to envision the best places to live and invest in their urban forest. We do this by educating, advocating and lending support for tree plantings.
Why trees? Because...
Cool breezes grow here.Shade trees shield our homes, roadways, and parking lots from the scorching summer heat. Shade trees can lower a household's cooling costs by nearly one-third - saving money while keep us comfortable. Homes with shade trees also have higher property values.
Healthy bodies grow here.Trees and green spaces can improve our health. People are more likely to be physically active in neighborhoods where trees are plentiful. Areas with trees invite contemplation and recreation --essential for restoring our bodies and minds.
Friendships grow here.Trees bring people together. They create social spaces where people gather and foster a sense of belonging. Neighborhoods with green spaces are tighter-knit, safer, and more livable.
Fresh air grows here.Trees are nature's way of cleaning our air. Tree leaves absorb pollutants, produce oxygen, and make cleaner air for us to breathe.
