One of the heritage trees in front of Kingscote Gardens that needed to come down due to decay. 2 benches that came from this tree sit here today for students to enjoy and remember the tree.

Heartbreaking to see, but several of the huge heritage Coast Live Oak trees on Stanford campus had fallen due to heavy winds in 2023, and several others were deemed necessary to come down due to decay that had rendered the trees likely to fall in the next windstorm.

We were grateful to help with the full process from safe removal, all the way to co-designing and fabricating the benches and tables to fabricate from these trees.

The benches and tables now sit all throughout Stanford campus for students and faculty to enjoy, including Kingscote Gardens, Lake Lagunita, and Faculty Club.

Community Gardens, Urban Farms, & Composting

More and more communities are recognizing the value of sustainable heathy food systems and environmental stewardship. There’s been a rise in community gardens, urban farms, and composting.

These spaces not only provide access to fresh, locally grown produce, reducing dependence on long supply chains, but they also reconnect people with the natural food cycle in densely populated areas. By turning vacant lots or underutilized urban spaces into thriving gardens, cities can combat food insecurity, improve local biodiversity, and create greener, healthier neighborhoods. Composting, in particular, plays a crucial role in waste reduction, diverting organic waste from landfills while enriching the soil used in these urban gardens and farms.

As more cities and grassroots organizations invest in these initiatives, the ripple effects of enhanced food quality, reduced carbon footprints, and stronger community ties are becoming increasingly evident.

Here at Bay Area Redwood, we repurpose our mill end wood to support the urban farming and composting movement.
