What an incredible Arbor Day! Huge thanks to our amazing partners, volunteers, and the Richmond Youth Fire Academy for coming out and giving back to our community. Your dedication made a real difference in transforming the Greenway down 4th St ,now called The Grove.

A special shoutout to Mayor Eduardo for joining us and supporting this important cause. And of course, we couldn’t have done it without the City of Richmond their support and collaboration. The help from each and everyone was a crucial piece of making this Arbor Day successful. Together, we planted 29 new trees, bringing more green and life to our city .

We’re beyond proud of what we accomplished and can’t wait to see what next Arbor Day brings!

With Gratitude to the Ohlone People

At Groundwork Richmond, we begin by offering our deepest thanks to the Ohlone people, whose ancestral lands we are honored to live and work on. Their care for this region long before it was called Richmond, laid the foundation for the work we do today.

Within the Ohlone community, the Chochenyo Ohlone were the primary stewards of what is now known as central and eastern Richmond,including neighborhoods like South Richmond, North Richmond, Hilltop, and the Iron Triangle. Their knowledge and relationship with the land continue to inspire how we plant, restore, and grow.

We also acknowledge the Karkin Ohlone, who lived near the northern shoreline of present-day Richmond, including areas now known as Point Richmond and Marina Bay, and the Huichin Ohlone, whose ancestral territory extended into southern Richmond, touching parts of El Cerrito and Oakland.

Groundwork Richmond stands on this land with respect, gratitude, and a commitment to honoring the Indigenous communities who continue to have a living presence here.
