The definitive field guide to the trees that make Silicon Valley one of the world's most biodiverse urban landscapes. Silicon Valley is known globally for its startups, but its true legacy starts from the roots up. Nestled within California's Floristic Province, the region is an extraordinary ecosystem where biological diversity survives alongside one of the world's most suburbanized environments. The seeds of this natural abundance lie in Silicon Valley's trees. Trees of Silicon Valley is an indispensable guide to the arboreal richness that stretches from the San Francisco Peninsula down to San Jose and over the Santa Cruz Mountains. An engaging blend of field guide, environmental history, and conservation handbook, this volume profiles more than one hundred native and introduced tree species. Featuring photographs to help you identify key features across the seasons, alongside environmental history and practical cultivation tips, it is the definitive manual for understanding the trees that define the region’s forests, cityscapes, parks, and preserves. More than a tree identification guide, this book explores how thousands of years of Indigenous land stewardship followed by hundreds of years of agricultural, commercial, and housing development have shaped today's human habitats—and how the region's canopy cover holds the key to the choices that will define its future. As climate change remakes California landscapes, Trees of Silicon Valley demonstrates why filling the green gaps is critical to sustaining the region's intricate web of life, and it offers an inspiring vision for creating resilient urban forests that benefit both people and wildlife.
