Document Description
This project, to be carried out by Canopy: Trees for Palo Alto, involves the planting of 635 trees in various locations throughout the City of Palo Alto. It is anticipated that this project will commence planting trees from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2009. Trees will be native and non-native ornamentals that have been selected for their disease resistance, adaptation to the urban landscape, shade capacity, and minimal litter production. Trees planted will be of an appropriate container size for the location, and all trees will be planted, staked and tied, watered and maintained in accordance with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's tree planting guidelines.

Reasons for Exemption
This project involves minor alterations to land and vegetation including the planting of new landscaping trees. As this is a heavily disturbed urban environment there is a low likelihood of impacting any significant biological resources. CDF's staff have reviewed this project and determined that there are no cultural or historic resources present in the project vicinity. CDF's finds that the proposed activities will pose a less than significant impact to the environment including cultural, historic, and biological resources.
