Did you know that Canopy was originally called Canopy, Trees for Palo Alto? In 2006, the organization broadened its mission to include tree-planting efforts in surrounding neighborhoods. To reflect this expanded focus and commitment to serving all communities, the name was simplified to Canopy.
Join us as we explore the history of East Palo Alto (EPA), a community shaped by decades of activism, cultural diversity, and a fight for self-determination. From its incorporation as a city in the 1980s to its struggles with environmental injustices, we’ll explore how EPA’s historical context set the stage for today’s efforts to expand tree plantings and green its urban spaces. Learn how these initiatives are bringing cleaner air, cooler streets, and a renewed sense of community pride.
