Arbor Day Celebration Planting

Join Our City Forest in recognizing Arbor Day by planting trees in San Jose, CA. There will be a small ceremony featuring speeches from elected officials to be announced as we approach the day of the event.

We will be planting trees all over Overfelt Park and and will also offer some other lower intensity activities for those that want to join in the celebration but may not want to commit to planting a tree.

Meeting location: TBD ,

Parking: There is limited parking within the lot adjacent to the park along Educational Park Dr. Once that is full there should be parking within the surrounding neighborhood.
