Tree People: Helping Nature Heal our Cities
TreePeople is a nonprofit organization that has been serving the Los Angeles area for over three decades. Simply put, their work is about helping nature heal our cities. We offer sustainable solutions to urban ecosystem problems, focusing on three areas: training and supporting communities to plant and care for trees, educating school children and adults about the environment, and working with government agencies on critical water issues.
Their volunteers have planted over two million trees in the L.A. area over the past thirty years. They also support people like you to plant and care for trees on school campuses, city streets, parks and the mountains surrounding Los Angeles.
