Show some love for the Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia), traditionally recognized as June's tree of the month. An evergreen tree native to the California coastal ranges, the Coast Live Oak can grow relatively quickly to a height of 70 feet with an equal spread, and once established, it tolerates drought extremely well and can live to the impressive age of over 250 years. This summer, volunteers are restarting The Great Oak Count, a comprehensive survey of native oaks in Palo Alto. Visit the link in our bio to learn how you can join this citizen science project!

Canopy is thrilled to have received the Community

Canopy is thrilled to have received the Community Partner Award from the Palo Alto Girl Scouts Service Unit 601 earlier this month! For the last two years, the Girl Scouts and Canopy have partnered to care for trees in honor of Veterans Day. Pictured here are the Girl Scouts — including Daisies, Brownies, Cadettes, Seniors, and their troop adults — that helped with tree care, site maintenance, and tree planting at the San Francisquito Creek trail in East Palo Alto last November. @gsnorcal
