We Need TREES--Join the East Palo Alto Tree Initiative

Welcome to the Collective Roots' tree projects page. Collective Roots is proud to be an active supporter of the East Palo Alto Tree Initiative led by Faye Brown.

Thanks to the support of Canopy, the garden at East Palo Alto Charter School now has the largest and most diverse stand of fruit trees in East Palo Alto! There are many reasons why trees are a important focus of our work. Please allow us share some of our projects and partners with you. We invite you to join our efforts and welcome volunteer support as well as donations to support our work. Why do we need trees? We love them!
