Neighborhood Tree Walks

Canopy’s Tree Walk program consists of neighborhood tree walk routes throughout Palo Alto, Mountain View, East Palo Alto, and Menlo Park. The tree walks offer an opportunity to spend time outdoors and enjoy the life-giving benefits of trees while learning about your local urban forest.

Guided Tree Walks

At Canopy’s guided tree walks, a certified arborist leads participants through neighborhood routes, sharing in-depth information, fun facts, and tips about caring for trees and selecting tree species. Walks are typically held on one Saturday per month from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, excluding December and the hottest summer months.

Archived Tree Walk Routes

In 2009 Canopy developed our classic Tree Walk routes and brochures as a way to connect community members with the trees in their backyards and foster an appreciation only possible through getting up close and personal with the urban canopy. In 2021 Canopy launched a series of Interactive Tree Walk Guides, adapting several of our classic routes into a mobile-friendly format with an interactive map, photos, videos, and more to explore trees in your neighborhood.

As of May 2022, Canopy is no longer updating these tree walk guides and the routes below may not accurately reflect the trees as they exist today.
