Community Forestry 101
Saturday, February 2
Time: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Location: The Foster (4907, 940 Commercial St, Palo Alto)
In California, 80% of the population live in cities, making urban forests a vital part of daily life. What exactly is an urban forest and what does it do for us? What is happening with trees at the regional and local scale, and what is our role in stewarding this valuable environmental resource?
Community Forestry 101 is an introductory workshop of Canopy’s new Community Forestry School, a five-month series that dives into the fundamentals of urban forestry and the ways you can bring the benefits of trees to your local community. Each workshop includes an in-depth session on key topics in urban forestry and concludes with optional trainings to equip you with skills to work with us side-by-side to remedy local inequities in tree canopy cover and access to urban nature.
Following workshops include:
Engaging Youth in the Urban Forest | March 16
Structural Pruning Pruning Basics | April 6
Get to Know our Native Oaks | May 18
