Our City Forest: Urban Forestry Education Center Workday

About this event

Over the past year, we have planted over fifty trees at our 2-acre site near the intersection of Chynoweth Ave & Snell Ave. There are plenty of opportunities to build and maintain our ever increasing number of projects here. Help us keep our center looking beautiful, and assist with removing invasive weeds and plants.

Location: 391 Chynoweth Ave, 391 Chynoweth Avenue, San Jose, CA 95136
