Saratoga Neighborhood Planting with Our City Forest

Please arrive on time for our tree planting demonstration at the beginning of the event to learn how to plant a tree properly. We continue to provide support and guidance during the event. If you'd like to get an idea (or refresher) of the planting process ahead of time, please feel free to check out this 8-minute video: Tree Planting Guide (youtube.com).

We will meet in a sinlge location and then spread out to various private residences to complete our plantings

Meeting location: West Valley Fire Station parking lot. Try to use street parking if possible.
