On behalf of East Sacramento Preservation, Neighborhood Association, I want to thank you for braving unpredictable weather and participating in the January 6th, 2024, Phase 1 – Replacement Tree Planting at McKinley Park. With a helpful demonstration by Esteban Lopez on how to install the trees, over 30 volunteers planted 13 trees in less than 90 minutes. WOW!!
We planted several tree specimens: 6 Ginkgo Biloba, 4 cypresses, and 3 Tupelos.
The Director of City Parks, the Staff, and Arborist were very impressed with the turnout and the great job completed.
In fact, so much so, we have Phase 2- Replacement Tree Planting scheduled for Saturday, March 16th, 9 am at McKinley Park. Please RED CIRCLE this date and give a couple of hours of your time.
If I understood correctly, it is only with the help of motivated and committed volunteers that this tree-replacement work is accomplished in our City Parks.

Thanks for your help.   Will Green

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

On January 6th, 2024 at 10:00 am, we need 30-35 volunteers to plant 10-12 trees.  The City Staff will provide equipment to auger the holes for planting and the stakes.
We (volunteers) will need to clear the hole with shovels, plant, and stake the trees. 
East Sacrament Preservation will provide bladder bags to help assure deeper watering for these newly planted trees. 
Finally, Mulch will be placed around the newly planted tree to help with moisture control as well as providing organic nourishment to the trees.
This is a good opportunity to start off the New Year with giving back to our community. Share your interest and intent and be a Tree Volunteer on January 6th, 2024 at 10am.
