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!
