Launching: Community Food Forest in San José! 

Exciting news: Acterra is launching a community food forest in partnership with Educare California at Silicon Valley and the Santa Clara County Office of Education! 

The food forest will become a community resource that can provide fresh produce grown locally, a beautiful space for community gathering, many educational and volunteer opportunities, and benefits for the environment like enhanced biodiversity and carbon storage.

Help our vision come to life! Please join us on April 12 for a fun morning of volunteer work in the garden areas, plus a special dedication ceremony to kick off our initiative, with special guest Betty Duong of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.

Lanzamiento: ¡Bosque de Alimentos en San José! 

Noticias emocionantes: Acterra está lanzando un bosque de alimentos comunitario en asociación con Educare California en Silicon Valley y la Oficina de Educación del Condado de Santa Clara. 

El bosque de alimentos se convertirá en un recurso comunitario que puede proporcionar productos frescos cultivados localmente, un hermoso espacio para la reunión comunitaria, muchas oportunidades educativas y de voluntariado, y beneficios para el medio ambiente, como una mayor biodiversidad y almacenamiento de carbono.

¡Ayuda a que nuestra visión venga a la vida! Únase a nosotros el 12 de abril para una mañana divertida de trabajo voluntario en las áreas del jardín, además de una ceremonia especial de dedicación para iniciar nuestra iniciativa, con la invitada especial Betty Duong de la Junta de Supervisores del Condado de Santa Clara.
