  • Planting Hope: Planning for Equitable and Resilient Urban Forests in the Bay Area Thursday, September 4, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 6:00 pm Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center, 326 Galvez St, Stanford, CA 94305, USA

    Register: Get Tickets

    The San Francisco Bay Area is a vibrant and unique urban matrix — a patchwork of diverse communities, microclimates, and environmental challenges that demand localized, collaborative solutions. To ensure the resilience and equity of our urban forests, we invite you to join Planting Hope, a convening focused on connecting distributed efforts to advance urban and community forestry in our region.

    We believe this is a critical moment. One tree can change a landscape — one conversation can change the future. We invite our regional colleagues and advocates to address the challenges and opportunities that define urban forestry in the Bay Area. Together, we aim to identify actionable goals to advance urban forestry through science, equity, climate action, and community empowerment.

    Planting Hope is co-presented by Stanford University as an Office of Community Engagement Regional Forum, periodic events that showcase regional collaboration on timely topics and advance Stanford's mission.
