Thank you to everyone who attended Canopy’s 2024

Thank you to everyone who attended Canopy’s 2024 Tree Awards and Volunteer Party! We always enjoy being in community with all of you and celebrating the power of people together. Volunteers are, without a doubt, at the core of Canopy’s success and impact. Our 2024 Tree Awardees are shining examples of this and we were so proud and grateful to recognize their achievements!

Thank you to Angel Fernandez, Ashok Srinivasan, and DJ Stamper for capturing the day in photos and to @bloomhouseepa for hosting us. We also wish to thank East Palo Alto’s own @brewing.with.brothas for allocating two of their local brews to the event.

We hope to see you soon at another Canopy community event! Check out our upcoming events at the link in our bio

Thank you to the 32 volunteers, 15 Teen Urban Fore

Thank you to the 32 volunteers, 15 Teen Urban Foresters, and Canopy staff who helped plant 20 trees at our East Palo Alto Neighborhood Planting on September 14th. It filled our hearts to see so many people come together on a Saturday morning to take action for our local urban forest. What a beautiful way to kick off the new planting season!

Check out these amazing photos of the planting by DJ Stamper, Treasured Visions. DJ captured the essence of the planting wonderfully, snapping photos of smiling faces, teamwork, and community connection.

These 20 trees are just the start of our new planting season. It takes many hands to steward our urban forests, so we hope you will join us at an upcoming tree planting or tree care event. Check the link in our bio to learn about and sign up for our upcoming events!
