Canopy.org - An update on their mission of growing & sustaining equitable urban forests for all

Please attend this informative luncheon meeting where Canopy.org Executive Director, Jean-Paul Renaud will provide an update on local Canopy.org programs. Recently, our Club President Cathy, participated in a Canopy project in Mountain View that involved tree planting. 

Canopy connects communities through thriving urban forests.

Our mission is to collaborate with communities to grow and sustain equitable urban forests for all.

We envision connected communities thriving within a vibrant urban forest.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Canopy prioritizes tree planting and stewardship, education, and advocacy in communities where people do not have a thriving urban forest due to limited resources, competing priorities, historical development, and urbanization patterns. 

Canopy’s diverse programs include:

• Tree Planting: expanding our urban forest. Canopy recently completed a major initiative to plant 1,000 trees on underserved school campuses. Now we’re working on the next thousand.
• Tree Care: tending our young and mature community trees
• Tree Walks: inspiring people of all ages to explore and appreciate the urban forest
• Events and Workshops: Engaging the community and sharing the latest in arboriculture science.
• Youth Engagement and School Programs: Inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards.
• Urban Forest Advocacy: Working with public and private agencies to protect our forest as a whole.
• Community Services: Providing guidance and advice for City of Palo Alto programs, and mentoring other organizations.
