Urban Forestry in Sacramento - The City of Trees

See the City of Trees and learn about the management behind the scenes! On this tour of Sacramento’s cityscape, attendees will meet with federal, state, and local urban forestry leaders and urban forestry nonprofit organizations to learn about current management challenges and opportunities. Topics will include maintaining the existing urban tree canopy, urban wood utilization, and expanding or improving the urban tree canopy in disadvantaged neighborhoods. In addition, the American River Parkway, a county-managed park, is a major recreational and natural corridor that runs east-west through Sacramento. Its management is a challenge in balancing the needs of wildlife and recreation and maintaining water quality.
