Planting Hope, Growing Resilience: A Virtual Benefit Celebrating the Power of Trees and Community

In the summer of 2021, Canopy began our 25th year digging in with Midpeninsula residents to grow healthy trees and healthy communities. On Thursday, June 24, we gathered for a Planting Hope, Growing Resilience, a virtual celebration and fundraiser to kick things off! Together, we explored the power of nature to sustain our communities, connect us more deeply, and illuminate what’s possible when we act together with hope.
Virtual event hosted and recorded by Canopy on Thursday, June 24, 2021.
