Rain or Shine – Let’s Grow the Canopy!

East Sacramento Preservation-Neighborhood Association, in partnership with Sacramento City Parks, Urban Forestry Arborists, and the Sacramento Tree Foundation, is working to restore and enhance McKinley Park’s tree canopy—and we need your help!

📅 Event Details

🗓 Date: Saturday, March 29, 2025
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM
📍 Meeting Location: Along 33rd Street near Park Way & the Tennis Courts at McKinley Blvd. (Look for the white tool van and City of Sacramento trucks.)

🌱 What You’ll Be Doing

We need 30-35 volunteers to plant 10-15 new trees in McKinley Park. The City will pre-dig the holes using augers, and volunteers will:
✅ Clear holes with shovels
✅ Plant, stake, and mulch the trees
✅ Work together to strengthen our urban forest

🔨 What to Bring

🔹 Work gloves (everything else, including shovels and tools, will be provided!)
🔹 Energy and enthusiasm!
🔹 Supervision for young volunteers—kids are welcome, but they need an energetic adult to assist them.

📝 Sign Up & Waiver Info

All volunteers must complete a City of Sacramento waiver before participating.
