On any given day, the Sacramento SPCA has well over 100 dogs in their shelter and every one of them gets walked in their "Back 40" area. Thanks to a couple of generous donors, new pathways with decomposed granite, irrigation, and new fencing have been installed. Now it's time to fill the area with drought-tolerant trees and shrubs, growing shade and making it a beautiful, natural landscape for both the dogs and SPCA's volunteers. We need your help to complete this wonderful space! Join us as we plant approximately 25 new trees and mulch the existing trees in the area.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to participate.

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.
