One of the coolest communities of people I met in the Bay Area / old school Silicon Valley (think Los Altos / Palo Alto) were the long-time residents who grew redwood sapplings in their garages / back-yards and planned regular excursions to maintain forests and to plant these saplings. For those who don't know, redwood / sequoia saplings take years to grow in captivity and are actually quite complex to collect and sow. To be frank, the Bay Area wasn't a great fit for me - but communities like this keep itching at me to move back from the east coast.
