The Guadalupe River Park Conservancy is revitalizing San Jose's Historic Orchard by planting 10 new citrus and avocado trees, part of a larger plan involving 200 climate-adapted fruit trees. This initiative honors the city's rich agricultural history while adapting to contemporary climate challenges. Partnering with PG&E and supported by volunteers, the project aims to enhance local ecosystems, reduce wildfire risks, and create educational opportunities through sustainable gardening. The orchard symbolizes resilience and community, fostering a connection to the region's past and promoting future environmental stewardship.
By planting the right tree in the right place, we can reduce power outages, mitigate wildfire risk, and maintain reliable service.
Revitalization of the Historic Orchard is an opportunity to support a sustainable sense-of-place by honoring our region's history, adapting to change, enhancing tree canopy, and supporting local food cultivation.
