In partnership with the Sacramento Tree Foundation, the Del Paso Heights Growers’ Alliance and Green Technical Education & Employment seek to establish a Teaching Urban Farming, Forestry, and Aquaponics (TUFFA) Training Center in Del Paso Heights. Currently, Green Tech operates the TUFFA Training Center in South Sacramento in South Oak Park, but there is a need to provide job training and urban farming education in North Sacramento too. This project would convert a barren lot into a fully-functioning, producing community garden - called "Suga’ Cane Community Garden - with staple crops such as suger cane and fruit trees. An additional component of the project will include the planting and maintenance of shade trees. The services and activities offered will be provided in a home-like setting in the community. This collaboration is committed to promoting equity and justice in disadvantaged communities.

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.
