Head Up to the Mountains with TreePeople: Thirsty Seedlings Need Our Help

August 12, 2013

Seedlings are growing and thriving at Chilao Flats in the Angeles National Forest thanks to hundreds of TreePeople volunteers who planted them earlier this year. This is an important and beloved mountain area that was devastated by the 2009 Station Fire, and we’re helping bring the forest back for all who depend on it.

Volunteers are needed to give these young trees the water and mulch they need to survive the hot, dry summer. Sign-up for Angeles Forest Restoration on August 24.

Not able to make it that day? Check out our calendar to sign-up for other upcoming tree care events in our local mountains.
