The San Mateo County communities of East Palo Alto, unincorporated North Fair Oaks, and the Belle Haven neighborhood of Menlo Park have a particularly low canopy cover due to a legacy of systemic racism and environmental injustice. The primary responsibility of this Community Forester is to care for trees planted by Canopy in the last three years in San Mateo County to ensure their successful establishment and longevity to grow the canopy cover of these areas. Under the direction of the Community Forestry Manager, this role will work in close collaboration with their San Mateo Community Forester counterpart to support each other in fieldwork, deepen partnerships and relationships, and strategize shared community goals.
