  The Oak Park Neighborhood Association manages a CalTrans lot as a native plant garden. We need to liberate all the native wildflowers from non-native grasses and would appreciate your help. 2022 34th St, Sacramento CA Sunday March 2nd 8:30am-11am It's time for another work day: meet your neighbors and help make the Native Plant Garden ready to bloom more magnificently than ever! Last time we made pathways that make it easier for visitors to enjoy and explore the garden: come check them out! We'll also be weeding. Come late, leave early, or spend the whole time with us.

McKinley Park Trash Dash Sunday February 16th 10am-noon 630 Alhambra Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95816 On February 16th we will be out with our friends from City Parks and will be bringing coffee and donuts to power us through our efforts, and pizza afterwards. This is our quarterly “BIG” pick up event made possible by a grant through the city. We have some awesome college students volunteering for this event, and it will be fun. We timed it right as our park will be peeking out from the winter doldrums and may even have a few flowers welcoming us. Let’s get out to make our park shiny and make sure visitors see a beautiful and thriving community here in Midtown and East Sac. We'll be out there, RAIN OR SHINE.
