To the trees

Sacramento is home to an extensive variety of trees. However, most residents are not aware of what kind of trees are shading their heads—or falling on their cars. The Sacramento Tree Foundation will host a walk under Sacramento State University’s tree canopy Saturday, June 19, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Participants will learn about identifying trees by leaves, bark and growth habits. Insect and disease issues will be discussed, as well as watering demands for the Central Valley environment of clay soils and hot weather. Meet at the northeast pathway of the Sacramento State Arboretum. For more information, visit www.sactree.com.
