Highlights

Wow! It was a busy year for a tiny group of volunteers with no funding. In 2025 we planned and hosted over 15 events including tree plantings, native flower and shrub plantings, traffic circle beautification, and tours of gardens and trees.

Thank you so much to the many volunteers who showed up with us to plant, dig holes, clean-up, remove weeds, haul wheelbarrows full of mulch, rake mulch around roots, talk about trees and nature, and build a sense of community.

In September we won a $3,000 Community Action grant from the City of Sacramento in partnership with the Friends of Sutter’s Landing. We bought native plants and much needed tools for clean-up and restoration work and education at Sutter’s Landing.

Plans for 2026

We intend to keep working on restoring nature and building community in Sacramento.

St. Hope Sacramento High School

November 8, 2025

About 20 volunteers from Sac High teamed up to plant 12 trees along Y Street. We partnered with Missing Trees.

Another great event thanks to the enthusiastic students and volunteers. The tradition of naming trees started here with “Treeyonce.” And thank you Principal Williams-James for the great organization and snacks!
