Hollywood Park Tree Planting

Join the Hollywood Park CommuniTree Committee and SacTree for this annual community planting. We will be planting trees throughout the neighborhood to make this great community even better!

We provide all the necessary tools and supplies to care for trees. Participants will receive a short, hands-on training on site. After learning the tools and techniques, participants will split up into groups and begin planting trees throughout the neighborhood.

Please note: A number of our planting locations in Hollywood Park are beyond walking distance from the school. Some volunteers may need to drive between planting locations.

Register now! The week before this event, we will send a logistics and directions email with detailed information about how to get to the site. You will receive this email ONLY if you are signed-up for this planting.

Anyone, but those who live or work nearby are especially encouraged to attend! This event is open to the general public, you do not need any prior experience to join us and on-site training will be provided. Families with children are welcome.
