Tree Stockton

Show Up for Louis Park was a powerful example of what can happen when the community comes together. On Saturday, May 16, over 140 volunteers rolled up their sleeves and planted 30 trees, added around 30 native plants, removed over 300 pounds of litter, spread 8 cubic yards of mulch, and cleared a full 40 yard dumpster of invasive green waste from the delta and boat ramp area near Dad’s Point. Volunteers also brought color and life to the park by creating 520 square feet of community art featuring Delta wildlife on concrete barriers and refreshing nearly 2,000 square feet of benches. We gave away 5 native trees and 20 gift certificates to a local nursery so families could continue growing at home. A special thank you to our partners who made this event possible: Keep America Beautiful, Caltrans HQ, Keep California Beautiful, Greater Valley Conservation Corps, the City of Stockton - Government, and West Coast Arborists for generously providing watering services. We are also grateful to our community art coordinators, Garrett Daniels and Tiffany Pech, and a big shout out to DJ MR. Gooodface for providing the music and keeping the energy high throughout the day. Thank you to Stockton Beautiful and Stockton Garden Club for their continued support, and to volunteer groups from LiUNA, University of the Pacific, and additional conservation corps teams who showed up in force.

Got a few hours on Sat, May 16th? Come hang out with Tree Stockton at Louis Park and help make a difference! We’ll be planting trees and native plants, removing invasive species, doing some painting, and giving away fun prizes along the way. Whether you love volunteering, being outdoors, or just want to meet good community people, we’d love to see you there. Saturday, May 16 from 9AM–1PM at Louis Park, 3121 Monte Diablo Avenue.
