Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Environmental Education, Forest Conservation
Mission: Canopy's mission is to grow urban tree canopy in Midpeninsula communities for the benefit of all. Our vision is a day when every resident of the Mid-Peninsula can walk, play, and in all ways thrive under the shade of healthy trees. Together, we can bring this vision to life!
Results: Canopy grows, protects, and advocates for an essential community resource: urban trees. Founded in Palo Alto in 1996, today Canopy’s branches extend across the Midpeninsula. Each year, we engage thousands of local residents in tree planting and tree care, hands-on education, and grassroots environmental action. Together, we grow the urban forest and create healthy communities where people and nature thrive.
Target demographics: Midpeninsula residents of all ages.
Direct beneficiaries per year: In 2020, Canopy planted 539 drought-tolerant trees, tended 2,400+ young trees, engaged over 1,250 volunteers, and reached 2,600+ kids through virtual and in-person nature education.
Geographic areas served: North Fair Oaks, Belle Haven, East Palo Alto, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and the greater Midpeninsula area.
