Celebrate Earth Day with the Sacramento Tree Foundation by planting native grass and forb seedlings at the Blue Heron Trails area of Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. We’ve planted and cared for pollinator-friendly plants in this area over the last few years as part of a project funded by the California Natural Resources Agency's Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program. Now it’s time to revisit this project and give it some TLC by planting an additional 1,200 seedlings and weeding areas to allow the plants to thrive!

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.
