What We Do

We plant native trees in Petaluma to improve the environmental health of the Petaluma watershed, shelter wildlife, enrich our lives and save the planet. ReLeaf Petaluma has the goal to plant native trees to combat climate change, increase biodiversity, expand the urban forest, decrease heat islands, and vitalize the watershed. We are happy to have robust community support in the way of partnering organizations, volunteers, city collaboration, and a dedicated board. We are actively looking for financial assistance to continue and expand our reach and impact.


What we would use at $5,000 grant for:

ReLeaf Petaluma would like to seek funding to enable the creation of a “walkable forest” that would be sited near the River or in selected residential areas. This demonstration project would increase education opportunities about the benefits of trees, showcase the difference trees can make in a variety of locations, and simultaneously clean air and provide shade in the Summer heat.

ReLeaf also depends of local donations to support our ongoing tool acquisition and event resources programs. Specific small grants for these purposes can be developed collaboratively.


We Need Volunteers

ReLeaf is proud to have numerous core volunteers that dedicate themselves to ReLeaf work year round.

ReLeaf planting events draw large volunteer groups from the community. Event days range from 80-200 volunteers per day. Planting events are scheduled during the planting season; October-March.
