Help improve and maintain our new site at Martial Cottle Park!
Over the past year, we have planted over a dozen trees at our 2-acre site near the intersection of Chynoweth Ave & Snell Ave. There are plenty of opportunities to weed, mulch, and tend to the needs of our trees.
This is a recurring event that takes place every Friday. Shifts can be flexible, so please inquire if you are interested in volunteering during a different time.
Volunteer needs: Up to 10 volunteers needed; 1 - 2 tree amigos needed for task supervision.

About Our City Forest
Location:
1195 Clark St, San Jose, CA 95125, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to cultivate a green and healthy Silicon Valley by engaging community members in the appreciation, protection, growth and maintenance of our urban ecosystem, especially our urban forest.
Description
The ultimate goal of the program is to facilitate the planting of one million trees in Silicon Valley, utilizing one million people. We have planted over 70,000 trees in San Jose, encouraging community members to join us in improving the environmental conditions of their communities. We focus on making a healthy urban forest accessible to all by offering services targeted towards disadvantaged communities because we believe a healthy environment should be available to all people, not just those who have the resources to access it.
