Volunteers will be revegetating a portion of Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge by planting native trees and shrubs in abandoned agricultural lands. We hope to plant 200 new tree and shrub seedlings, which will someday provide habitat for local wildlife. All training and tools for this event will be provided.
Please arrive by 9:00 and expect to stay and work until 12:00.
Planting will take place on uneven and possibly muddy ground. Please be prepared with closed toed, preferably water resistant/proof, shoes and weather appropriate clothing layers.
To access the parking area, minimal off-road driving on dirt and gravel roads may be required. After parking, we will be walking 3/4 to 1-1/2 miles to the planting area, depending on road conditions.
We want to ensure that your time with us is a success! Please prepare for this event in the following ways:
- Begin your day with a healthy breakfast
- Wear weather appropriate clothing and closed toed shoes
- Bring along a water bottle
- You may want to bring gloves if you have them

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.
