Join us for the 2026 Young Tree Care Survey (YTCS)! Every summer, YTCS volunteers and Canopy staff explore Palo Alto’s neighborhoods to survey young street trees. Volunteers are given routes to assess if trees are getting enough water, mulch, and pruning and to note their findings in TreePlotter.
We strongly encourage completing a virtual YTCS training (see Events Calendar) before joining an in-person survey session. The survey location will be a public space and the address will be sent to your email. Contact [email protected] or [email protected] with questions.

Join us and the Bubb community on Saturday, August 1st from 9:00 am - 11:00 am at Bubb Elementary School to continue our stewardship of the newly planted trees. With support from local nonprofit Canopy and the City of Mountain View, volunteers, staff, and families will be mulching the new tree grove to retain soil moisture, keep roots cool in summer and warm in winter, suppress weeds, protect against mower damage, and slowly add nutrients to the tree as it naturally breaks down. This is a youth-friendly education activity, too! See you there.
