Welcome to Sustainable Salinas
We are a volunteer group of Salinas residents of different ages, backgrounds and interests, working towards a more environmentally sustainable Salinas, through community education and action in collaboration with other like-minded groups.
Sustainable Salinas is a member of Communities for Sustainable Monterey County. Our shared mission is to meet the challenge of declining resources and climate change by helping our communities transition to sustainable practices.
Monthly Ongoing Events:
Join us on the 2nd Sunday of each month, 9:00 am to 11 am, for monthly maintenance at the Native Plant Garden at Santa Rita Creek Park. Organized by Sustainable Salinas and Santa Rita and the Bolsa Knolls Watershed Group.

Sustainable Salinas, in collaboration with Return of the Natives, (now Habitat Restoration Project, Monterey Bay), began its Tree Canopy Restoration campaign in 2020. The program was launched on April 1, 2020, with the planting of 5 trees at Santa Rita Park in North Salinas.
The event was tremendously successful, with strong community involvement. Trees were purchased from Lakeside Nursery using funds raised through our 2018 MC Gives Campaign. Funding for more trees is still available, with more trees allocated to local residents and The Girl Scouts of America on Town St. in East Salinas. We will continue to update our progress on our Facebook Page.
Contact sustainablesalinas14@gmail.com to request trees for private or public plantings!
