With a goal to plant a tree a day, Ray recruited neighbors to plant trees at schools, parks, and streets all over the region. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5fa2355fa81b6833503af740/1604466022491/1990s.jpg Home - 1990s Board member Jeanie Shaw named a bold goal to plant one million trees in the following decade and pitched this idea to David Freeman, the new general manager of SMUD. In 1992, Ray and Board President Bill Fobes struck a deal to partner with SMUD in the delivery of free shade trees for energy savings, and the Sacramento Shade program was born. To date, this program has delivered over 600,000 trees and counting throughout the county. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5fa23573bdb7f02f45314c2b/1604466046631/2000s.jpg Home - 2000s National Arbor Day in 2001 marked the successful completion of the decade-long campaign to plant one million trees in Sacramento. Schoolchildren gathered to celebrate as Ray planted the millionth tree, a valley oak, at Cesar Chavez Plaza along with Mayor Heather Fargo and Supervisor Roger Dickinson. The Tree Foundation secured commitments from elected officials throughout the region to embrace the vision of investing in a regional urban forest. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5fa23587f982403f01ad8c74/1604466065086/2010s.jpg Home - 2010s Ray's advocacy in the 1990s for studies on Sacramento's urban forest produced volumes of research over the next few decades. These studies showed the links between tree canopy, urban heat, air quality, and public health. Recognizing the central role of tree canopy in building healthy communities, the Tree Foundation prioritized planting trees in under-canopied neighborhoods. The NeighborWoods program expanded to many additional communities, supporting residents to lead their own tree planting projects. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5fa2359ea5e22f10de55d6c6/1604466088021/2020.jpg Home - 2020 As conversations around public health, social justice, and climate change took center stage, Ray secured a commitment from the Mayors' Commission on Climate Change to work toward tree canopy goals of 25% by 2035 and 35% by 2045 through tree plantings in under-canopied and underserved neighborhoods. In his final year with the Tree Foundation, he leaves a tremendous legacy for our City of Trees and solutions toward a green, just future for the region. https://ray-tribute.squarespace.com/rsvp daily 0.75 2020-10-22 https://ray-tribute.squarespace.com/history daily 0.75 2020-10-27 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5f919b3e9a279a73139d9b33/1603377993966/Ray%2Bat%2BLevee%2B2-06-08%2B011.jpg History https://ray-tribute.squarespace.com/preserve daily 0.75 2020-11-05 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5f95f48e3cec5c1693ff19ad/1603663039971/IMG_9436.jpg Preserve - Restoration of the Preserve’s ecological and habitat values Arborist, bird, and plant surveys and reports Historic and cultural reports Master Plan for the restoration and protection of the Preserve https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5f95f4a90a0443568c0a4d30/1603663030377/IMG_9458-B.jpg Preserve - Preserve Amenities Children’s nature explore area – logs, rocks, sticks, acorns, and mud Outdoor learning space - repurposed log benches Interpretive and educational signage – virtual and in-person learning opportunities Volunteer steward program – trained volunteers and citizen scientists https://ray-tribute.squarespace.com/needs daily 0.75 2020-11-05 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8fcc99e44ce23d83b089ce/t/5f95f6623f9b191e59ac7140/1603663469810/Boys+Wagon.jpg Trees Meet Needs - All gifts above and beyond the $50,000 allocated to the Ray and Judy Tretheway Heritage Oak Preserve will be used to: Increase tree canopies in Sacramento’s low-income neighborhoods.
