Facing the region-wide issue of a declining tree canopy head-on, the City of Rancho Cordova has teamed up with the Sacramento Tree Foundation and SMUD to plant a tree-a-day in Rancho Cordova. Help us as we work to grow tree-lined streets, shaded parks and schools, and tree canopied back and front yards!
NeighborWoods is an initiative that empowers, grows, and supports a neighborhood’s desire to improve their community through tree planting and care activities. Join us as we lead teams of volunteers into the community, planting new shade trees at individual homes in the Cordova Gardens and Cordova Meadows neighborhoods of Rancho Cordova.
Lunch will be provided after the planting.

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.
