Rancho Cordova Independent

Volunteers Needed to Plant 100 Trees

May 04, 2016 12:00AM ● By Source: City of Rancho Cordova

You will soon see 100 new trees in Lincoln Village! The City of Rancho Cordova and the Sacramento Tree Foundation are coordinating with the “It Takes a Lincoln Village” neighborhood group to identify locations to plant 100 trees in the neighborhood.

As they grow, the new trees will provide shade canopy for energy conservation, clean air, and beautify the neighborhood. Plus, tree canopies help keep essential water in the soil and require little water during the drought.

According to USDA Forest Service i-Tree, large size trees provide a positive net gain return on investment from every dollar invested in the Sacramento Region. A large size tree five years after planting returns $22 to $23 dollars a year. That same tree 40 years after planting returns $63 to $73 dollars a year. This means the 100 trees in Lincoln Village will add from $2,200 per year to $7,300 per year as the trees increase in size!

The neighborhood will come together on Saturday, May 21st for the tree planting event. Volunteers are needed to help plant the trees from 8 a.m. to noon. Lunch will be provided to all event participants as a special thank you. Interested in volunteering? Sign up by May 16th at www.sactree.com/volunteer.

We look forward to coming together as a community and helping to increase the urban tree canopy in Rancho Cordova, one neighborhood at a time! If you have any questions about Rancho Cordova’s trees, please contact City Arborist Gordon Mann at (650) 740-3461 or [email protected].
