ReLeaf ReOaking Program for Petaluma open spaces

We are continuing our program along the East Side Connector Trail and beginning in other open space areas to plant and nurture acorns into trees. Together with our funder and our partners, we will be restoring these spaces to the oak savannah they originally evolved to be. We will also add shade along creeks and open space trails. Please enjoy our East Side Connector Trail slide deck, recently presented at a community input meeting, that explains this new project.

ReLeaf Residential Tree Program
We Plant. You water.

ReLeaf Petaluma, Cool Petaluma and the City of Petaluma have teamed up to offer free native trees to Petaluma residents. Native trees cool our homes and neighborhoods, while providing habitat for local bees, butterflies and birds. A ReLeaf tree expert will help you choose the best tree species for your location. Trained ReLeaf volunteers will plant the tree(s) and offer care consultations for up to 3 years.

We are accepting requests for planting in Fall 2025. Apply here.

ReLeaf Petaluma is excited to be working with the team and volunteers from Cool Petaluma on critical disaster preparedness and climate resilience improvements in our neighborhoods. Tree canopy in Petaluma is a critical part of the solution, and Petalumans are taking part in increasing native trees in their neighborhoods, helping to reach a citywide challenge to increase our canopy by 10,000 trees!
