If trees could wish, what would they wish for...
About a month ago, Our City Forest hosted a graduation for the class of super volunteers, the Tree Amigos. This mix of students, concerned residents, fans of trees and overall wonderful people took a month long course challenging their brains and arm muscles. They are now armed with the knowledge, the skills, and the passion to go out in our community and make a difference. We're beyond proud to graduate these new keepers of the Urban Forest.
Each month, the OCF AmeriCorps members feature a Tree of the Month. It gives us a chance to learn about the benefits and features of the trees that make up our urban forest in Silicon Valley. Most species are native to our area and available at our Community Nursery. For February, we've highlighted the Magnolia.
