El Palo Alto: A Living Legacy

In-depth Documentary on the health and history of the El Palo Alto.

El Palo Alto is a coastal redwood tree nestled in between the cities of Palo Alto and Menlo Park. It once served as a marker for the explorers and settlers, and now it serves as a symbol for Stanford, Palo Alto, and many more. This documentary discusses the history and the health of El Palo Alto, with exclusive insight into the most recent health study of the tree. Big thanks to Robert Booty of Arborist OnSite, who conducted the health study and compiled the report on the tree.
