Roseville Urban Forest Foundation strives to bring all the benefits that trees provide to our communities through thoughtful planning & plantings.

Our goal is to grow the Urban Forest within our communities to 15%. We are a 501C3, non-profit organization. What We Do: We help people learn how to choose and grow trees great trees. We partner with Roseville Electric to provide consultation for Roseville California residents who wish to add energy conserving trees or get advice on how to take care of their trees. Work to restore our open spaces and woodlands by organizing public plantings of native trees in the City Open Space Preserves. These trees are planted using Tree Mitigation Funds which were set aside during development to “replace” the trees removed during construction. We work in partnership with the Open Space Division of the Parks, Recreation and Libraries department to identify possible locations, plant and maintain the trees. We have planted over 2000 trees and several thousand acorns. We help beautify our community by planting in many of the city’s parks (19 plantings) and schools (40 plantings), the Fairgrounds, and three street side plantings

Educate our young citizens by helping them make their own "critter books" featuring local wildlife that lives in the oak woodlands. Our Library Book program provides tree-themed books to all of public school libraries. We select new titles each year, deliver and read to elementary school classes. If you would like to participate in the library book program contact us. Our website has resources on these topics as well as on "how to hire an arborist", and how to use trees near solar installations. Arbor Day and Celebrate the Earth Festival events give us an opportunity to provide children with a fun activity and provide and answer questions for adults about trees and tree care. We have put on seminars on choosing and planting trees as well as hands-on pruning seminars. RUFF has provided seminars for landscape professionals to further their education in tree topics that included: proper tree planting, tree health care, tree pruning and native trees. We ran a special seminar for school custodians who perform much of the tree care on school grounds. If you would like RUFF to do a presentation for your group contact us. RUFF board members and volunteers look forward to the opportunities to share with the citizens of Roseville information about trees and the urban forest benefits and concerns at events such as Roseville Arbor Days and Celebrate the Earth Festivals. If you have an event where you would like RUFF to attend please contact us. Roseville Urban Forest Foundation has trained citizens on proper planting techniques, basic tree care, species identification and assisting in leading community planting and tree maintenance projects. This hand-on learning is available if you are interested. To get more information about this contact us.

Love the look of coast redwoods in your landscape but not their high water needs?Consider planting a deodar cedar instead. It’s got graceful drooping branches, blue-green needles, and is adapted to our moist winters and summer heat.
