TLC at Sundance Park

Come get dirty with the Tree Foundation at Sundance Park in in Orangevale. We'll be managing ivasive weeds with the Operations team as well as caring for the newly plated native plants in the park.

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 walk with the tree foundation west along the bike path.

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 event.

Who should attend?

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.
