Volunteer with RUFF! Fall Native Tree Planting Events 11/9 & 12/7

Roseville Urban Forest Foundation (RUFF) and The City of Roseville Open Space Division are hosting two native tree planting events to end 2024. We will continue our planting events in 2025 January through April. Check our website for dates and locations.

For the November and December planting events we will continue where we left off in April at the Payson Ave. Preserve area, near Payson Ave and Jerome Way. We start at 9:00 am and go until we get around 200 trees planted or 12:00 pm.

We invite individual volunteers or groups to join us. It is a family friendly event!! If you have a group larger than 10 volunteers, please contact us at [email protected].

The event begins at 9:00am. Try to come a little early for registration. We start with a demonstration and instructions. There are several staff that will be available to help if there are any questions.

RUFF provides tools, gloves, masks. We have light refreshments and a water cooler available for our volunteers. We suggest bringing your own water bottle, as sometimes it's a little bit of a walk from the water station to where you will be working. We recommend wearing a mask when working with the mulch. We want to prevent breathing in any airborne spores or dust particles.

Volunteers are required to fill out waiver forms for both the City of Roseville and RUFF. You can find those forms on our website. We have copies at the event as well.

After planting the young trees volunteers will put in a stake, shelter and mulch each tree with bark.

Mulch is Magic! Mulch benefits your plants by smothering weeds, inviting helpful earthworms to move in, regulating the temperature of the soil, retaining moisture, providing nutrients and preventing.

NOTE About Weather Cancellations:

We will notify our volunteers the Thursday prior to the event if for any reason we need to cancel the event. If you need to reach our staff you can email us at:
