ECO: Annual Kate Sessions Day Tree Planting Event

By planting trees, we create cooler, more livable communities, improve air quality, and contribute to carbon sequestration—helping to fight climate change.

Join us for the Annual Kate Sessions Day Tree Planting Event as we come together to water, mulch, and plant trees in honor of this special day! Trees play a vital role in creating cooler communities, improving air quality, and sequestering carbon, all while adding beauty to our surroundings.

By participating, you'll help ensure that these newly planted trees thrive, supporting long-term climate resilience for California. Your efforts in watering and mulching will be crucial to their growth and survival. Let’s make a lasting impact together and contribute to a greener, healthier future!
