The Wishing Tree project has brought our communities closer through shared messages of hope and resilience, but #WishingTrees have also given voice to the injustices and inequality impacting our neighbors. In response to recent wishes of this nature, the Wishing Tree community partners posted at each tree a list of food, housing, and mental health resources. See the compiled list of resources at canopy.org/wishing-trees/community-resources, and share with your community as we support each other and envision a brighter future together. #WishingTreeTuesday #CommunityWishingTrees

One of our Popcorn plantings" with our Teen Urban Foresters this week! Canopy’s teen leaders planted four trees at two homes in the Belle Haven neighborhood last Saturday. Our model for tree planting this fall involves more events like this onesmall groups tackling a few trees at a time in a specific area. We miss gathering everyone in the community together, but our staff and volunteers are ready to keep the urban forest growing however we can. We know that neighborhoods need nearby nature more than ever! #treeplanting #urbanforestry #youthleaders #letsplant #nearbynature
