Planting Leaders support us by ensuring that volunteers have the best experience possible and that volunteers follow SacTree planting and care best practices. By providing volunteers with instruction and encouragement along with staff and interns, they also increase our capacity to successfully plant more trees across our region. They are an integral part of the effectiveness our events and serve as ambassadors for the organizations in the community, thereby also growing our volunteer team.
You will make a great Planting Leader if you...
* Enjoy giving back to your community
* Are comfortable speaking to groups of 10
* Like meeting new people of different backgrounds and ages
* Want to learn how to plant and care for trees
* Aspire to be a leader in your community

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.
