Thank you, Senator @josh.becker.ca and local staff

Thank you, Senator @josh.becker.ca and local staff, for joining Canopy to plant trees with us on the @kippvaliant campus. Our Teen Urban Foresters (TUFs) were terrific planting leaders, and we are so grateful for the enthusiastic support of the KIPP Valiant community. We enjoyed being back planting on the Willow Oaks campus. Canopy added 8 @calfire-funded trees which are already busy doing the work of nature-based climate action! 🌳 @kippnorcal
