Mission Statement
The Sacramento Tree Foundation is dedicated to building healthy, livable communities in the Sacramento region by growing the best urban forest. Since 1982, we have been building partnerships and empowering communities to envision the best places to live and to invest in their urban forest. We do this by educating, advocating and lending support for tree plantings.
About This Cause
Our urban forest defines our region. Named on the the ten best urban forests in the United States, the trees that line the streets, shade the parks and cool our homes offer critical benefits that make our region healthier, more comfortable, and more beautiful. What does our urban forest bring us? Cool breezes grow here. Shade trees shield our homes, roadways, and parking lots from the scorching summer heat. Shade trees can lower a household's cooling costs by nearly one-third - saving money while keep us comfortable. Homes with shade trees also have higher property values. Healthy bodies grow here. Trees and green spaces can improve our health. People are more likely to be physically active in neighborhoods where trees are plentiful. Areas with trees invite contemplation and recreation --essential for restoring our bodies and minds. Friendships grow here. Trees bring people together. They create social spaces where people gather and foster a sense of belonging. Neighborhoods with green spaces are tighter-knit, safer, and more livable. Fresh air grows here. Trees are nature's way of cleaning our air. Tree leaves absorb pollutants, produce oxygen, and make cleaner air for us to breathe. For all of these reasons and more, the Sacramento Tree works with corporations, governments and residents to grow and maintain a healthy urban forest in the Sacramento region.
