About this Event

Roseville Urban Forest Foundation (RUFF) and The City of Roseville Open Space Division are hosting two native tree planting events to start the New Year 2025!! We will continue with more planting events through April 2025. Check our website for dates and locations.

For the 2025 planting events we will be working in an open space area near Pistachio Park off Westpark Drive and Bickleigh Loop in West Roseville. We start at 9:00 am and go until we get around 200 trees planted or 12:00 pm for each event. See map below!

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.

WEATHER CONCERNS: Our priority is to be safe. The City of Roseville will contact RUFF staff if there is a need to cancel an event one or two days prior to the event.

If an event is cancelled RUFF staff will be in contact with volunteers. We will have an announcement of the cancellation on our website and on Eventbrite. www.rosevilletree.org

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 evaporation.
