The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is today. Canopy is the nonprofit center for street, park, and garden trees in Palo Alto.
Canopy runs planting and education programs.
Action-oriented Canopy volunteers plant and care for young street trees. Education-oriented members teach and encourage Palo Altans to select and care for trees, with a special emphasis on native oaks. Canopy's Mission Canopy is a non- profit advocate for Palo Alto's community trees and works to educate, inspire, and engage Palo Altans in the stewardship of new and existing trees. This Website is a seedling Canopy education program planted in September 1996. We intend to grow it into a large tree of information for Palo Altans.
