About this Event
We'll stroll through an arboretum perched four stories high atop the Salesforce Transit Center.
The garden features botanical specimens from around the world that grow in Mediterranean climates similar to California. Over six hundred trees and sixteen thousand plants await our discovery on this arboreal outing.
As we walk, we'll view the world's rarest pine tree and another tree believed to be extinct for millions of years, but recently found very much alive in an Australian forest.
Did you know urban parks are one of four types of greenbelts that increase resilience to wildfires? Learn more about these approaches here: .
