Sacramento Tree Foundation celebrates at growing Hanami Line
It’s cherry season in Sacramento. What better setting for a fundraiser to help Sacramento trees than the shade of a special cherry grove?
Friday, June 6, Sacramento Tree Foundation will host “An Evening at Hanami Line,” a fundraiser for trees and tree programs regionwide.
Located at the Robert Matsui Waterfront Park, the Hanami Line celebrates the Japanese tradition of hanami, “cherry blossom viewing.” Divided into four groups, more than 100 cherry trees were planted last year and offered their first blooms this spring.
Winding through the trees is a wave-patterned walkway. Giant parasols offer shade with plenty of room for picnicking. Benches in this unique park were made from recycled trees from SacTree’s Urban Wood Rescue program.
A major fundraiser for SacTree, this special event supports tree planting throughout the Sacramento region as well as the foundation’s many public programs.
Including food and drink, festivities start at 6:30 p.m. Friday and continue until 10.
Tickets ($200 plus fees) for this special event are still available. Donations of all amounts also are accepted.
“Join the Sacramento Tree Foundation for an unforgettable evening at Hanami Line where celebration meets conservation,” say the organizers. “As you enjoy delicious food, refreshing drinks, and dancing under the starlit sky in our beautifully activated park space, you’ll be supporting our vital community work.”
Says the Foundation, “Your participation helps fund our initiatives that work with community members, volunteers, and local officials to plant thousands of trees throughout the county. Through neighborhood tree plantings, educational workshops about urban forests, and mitigation plantings of native oaks, we’re creating a greener future for everyone.
“Come experience the magic of Hanami Line while making a meaningful difference in our community’s environmental landscape.”
The park is located at 450 Jibboom St., Sacramento.
