March is a special month for those of us who care about trees. It is the heart of Bare Roots season at Our City Forest’s Community Nursery & Training Center. So far this year, volunteers have helped pot 885 trees toward our goal of 1,750 bare root trees that will be planted across Santa Clara County in the coming seasons. Bare root trees arrive dormant and without soil, and volunteers carefully pot them into containers so they can develop strong root systems before being planted in neighborhoods, parks, and schoolyards across our region.

We were proud to once again partner with the City of San José and Mayor Matt Mahan as part of the State of the City, marking the occasion with a community tree planting that reflects the City’s commitment to climate resilience and neighborhood investment. Tree plantings tied to civic moments like this reinforce an important message: urban forestry is essential to the future of our city.
