Observed every year from March 7-14, California Arbor Week unites community members, businesses, and municipalities to recognize and educate how the benefits of trees are the foundational roots of successful, healthy cities and neighborhoods.

This year Canopy invites you to celebrate with the Palo Alto Art Center and Palo Alto City Library with tree-themed activities for all ages! Outdoor activities include two arborist-led tree walks at 10:00 and 11:00 a.m., arts and crafts, a “Stump an Arborist” booth where you can ask your most challenging tree questions, and more! Join us at 12:00 p.m. for a special gallery tour of artwork inspired by the city’s namesake tree, El Palo Alto.

Advance registration is required to attend one of the arborist-led walks. Learn more about the event and register for the walks at our website.
