Thank you all for joining us on April 14 to celebrate 28 years of Canopy, putting down roots in Midpeninsula communities, planting trees, and connecting people with nature in their neighborhoods. We’re grateful so many of you were our guests to experience firsthand the community-building capacity of trees.
