For a greener, more resilient city
the simple act of planting a Tree
“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years
ago. The second best time is now.”
—Anonymous
For 50 years, TreePeople has inspired, engaged, and supported more than 3 million people to take action for our environment by planting and caring for trees in forests, mountains, parks, and our neighborhoods.
They’re responsible for planting millions of trees throughout Southern California, are on the frontlines of reforestation, provide equitable access to environmental education, are one of the greatest contributors to LA’s urban canopy, have brought trees and shade coverage to our public schools and our neighborhoods, and the appreciation is truly limitless.
Every native plant in the ground is an act of repair, and to help spread the loving word on one of the Southland’s greatest stewards, we gather with TreePeople at least once-a-month for workshops, moonlight hikes, and live performances from their headquarters of Coldwater Canyon Park on Mulholland Drive.
