Tu B'Shvat is the Jewish birthday for trees. Celebrate with us by planting native plants to increase biodiversity at Foothills Nature Preserve.
Waivers/Registration: All volunteers attending the workday must be registered individually and have approved the online waiver through the Eventbrite page.
Parking: Meet at Foothills Nature Preserve Interpretive Center at 3300 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto 94304. Please carpool if possible. The road up to the site is very steep and curvy. Download driving instructions ahead of time, as there is limited cell reception up on Page Mill Road. There will be a ranger at the park entrance, and volunteers will receive entry details in their confirmation email.
Alternate Transportation: Foothills Nature Preserve is mainly accessible by car. Strong bikers can lock their bikes to a rack on-site.
Meeting Space: We will be meeting in front of the Interpretive Center. While there is limited cell service, there is public WiFi from the City of Palo Alto. There are water fountains and both gendered and all-gender bathrooms within a 10-minute walk from the meeting location.
Prepare for Working Outdoors:
- Bring a reusable water bottle filled with water
- Long pants and long sleeves are recommended
- Wear sturdy closed-toed shoes that can get dirty
- Hat/sunscreen or rain gear/boots
