VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

He that plants trees loves others besides himself. Thomas Fuller

East Sacramento Preservation Neighborhood Association is partnering with the Sacramento City Parks Arborist and the Sacramento Tree Foundation to replace missing trees in McKinley Park.

We need your help!

Join us on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 9:00 AM to plant 10–15 trees. We’re looking for 30–35 volunteers to make this project a success.

What to Expect:

  • City staff will provide equipment to auger planting holes and supply stakes.
  • Volunteers will clear holes, plant, and stake the trees.
  • Please wear close-toe shoes and bring a pair of work gloves. Shovels and additional tools will be provided by the City Parks Department.

Let’s create a lasting legacy of shade and beauty for future generations.

RSVP to Will Green
