March 28, 2026

Nearly 70 volunteers gathered near the horseshoe pits at McKinley Park for a highly successful community tree-planting event. Working together, participants planted 14 new trees, including Cedrus deodara (Deodar Cedar) and Laurus nobilis (Bay Laurel)—a meaningful step toward strengthening the park’s long-term canopy and resilience.

This event reflects a strong partnership between East Sacramento Preservation Neighborhood Association, Sacramento City Parks, Urban Forestry Arborists, Sacramento Tree Foundation, and SMUD, all working together to restore and enhance McKinley Park’s tree canopy.

The energy, teamwork, and shared commitment made for a memorable day.
