About this Event


This MLK Day of Service, join the Oakland Parks & Recreation Foundation (OPRF) as we come together to plant trees in West Oakland. Rain or shine, this hands-on volunteer day is about caring for our community, honoring Dr. King’s legacy through action, and growing a greener, healthier Oakland.

Together, we plant the seeds that unite Oakland’s communities and help keep the Town green.

We’re grateful to everyone who’s able to join us and show up for Oakland’s neighborhoods and green spaces.
