Educating, Planting, Partnering
The Woodland Tree Foundation is a non-profit organization run by volunteers dedicated to improving Woodland through the planting of trees. Our motto is Building Community Through Canopy.
In June 2000, a group of Woodland leaders came together to achieve a clear set of goals:
- To Educate residents, local government, schools, local businesses and others in the community about the health, economic, and environmental benefits of a healthy tree canopy in Woodland
- To Plant and care for trees to beautify and cool Woodland streets and public spaces
- To Partner with the City, community groups, schools, businesses and individuals to stretch dollars and other resources on behalf of trees
Our work has been recognized by organizations throughout the state. Woodland Tree Foundation was featured in California ReLeaf’s on-line publication ReLeaf at Work, and we are proud to have received the Sacramento Tree Foundation’s Austin B. Carroll Tree Hero award as well as the "Democracy Works Award" from the Woodland League of Women Voters.

FREE SHADE TREES!
Do you know a friend or neighbor who would enjoy having more shade and natural beauty in their yard? Woodland homeowners and renters are encouraged to contact Woodland Tree Foundation for a free tree. As the trees mature they can reduce air conditioning bills throughout the summer months. “Winter is an excellent time to plant trees,” according to David Wilkinson. “The rain helps the young trees get established and put on growth in the warmer months ahead.”
Receiving a shade tree is easy. Foundation staff meet with interested customers to help select the right tree for the right location to maximize benefits. The trees are free and planted at no cost for each customer. Watering instructions are provided.
“We encourage all Woodland residents to plant a tree and help grow Woodland’s shade coverage as we do our part to cool the city and reduce energy consumption. We all enjoy walking and driving around shady, leafy streets in the City of Trees,” stated Wilkinson.
