Organization Description: The Sacramento Tree Foundation has been a leader in Urban Forestry in the Sacramento region for over 40 years, planting over 10,000 trees a year. We use a Seed to Slab approach that incorporates the full life cycle of trees, from gathering acorns for propagation, planting trees in communities and reforestation, to milling urban trees at the end of their life to continue carbon sequestering. Education and community engagement in our Urban Forest are important factors in how we accomplish local change, working toward tree canopy equity and a livable and lovable region.
