Westgate Urban Woods was founded on a passion for Claro Walnut. The species grows exceptionally well in the Sacramento Valley of northern California. During the last century, these trees were planted along primary roads and property lines in Chico, California. In addition to the walnut, Westgate Urban Woods has branched out to acquire other local species. Several varieties of oak, pistache, silver maple, redwood, madrone, olive, bay laurel, black locust, cedar, liquid amber, and others have passed through the company's hands.
