RANCHO CORDOVA – The city celebrated its 1,000th tree planted in 2007 during a ceremony Monday morning at Peterson Field in Hagan Park.
City residents, businesses and public agencies have helped to meet the "One City – One Year – One Thousand Tree Pledge," part of the city's Growing Strong Neighborhood program, an effort to improve the quality of life in Rancho Cordova.
The mayor and City Council members helped plant 10 trees with the assistance of volunteers from the Sacramento Tree Foundation.
In partnership with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and the Sacramento Tree Foundation, Rancho Cordova has encouraged residents to plant free shade trees.
The shade tree program continues and residents can call (916) 924-8733 for more information.
