The move positions TreePeople as the largest environmental non-profit in the region and one…
Halloween is one of the best holidays of the year (and certainly the sweetest). The weather finally starts to cool, spooky movies are on replay all over TV, we get to gorge on sugary treats, and we can catch an adrenaline rush on some pretty freaky stuff. One of the scariest parts of Halloween to…
We here at TreePeople are still buzzing over our 32nd annual An Evening Under The Harvest Moon gala. Over 350 of our biggest supporters joined us to raise over 465,000 dollars and celebrate some of TreePeople’s dearest partners who are working with us to help create a greener, healthier, more climate-resilient future for Los Angeles…
Earlier this year, we kicked off a new chapter of our street greening initiative, Calles Verdes, in the City of San Fernando. As the name suggests, the purpose is to bring green spaces to parts of the county with little tree canopy in order to improve the health of the citizens who reside there. Trees,…

This 45-acre expanse of land is a hiking hub, a fantastic city view lookout point, and a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. The park doesn’t belong to us alone, absolutely not. It also belongs to the…
TreePeople is known across Southern California for planting trees, but that’s not all we do. One of our most important jobs is deepening knowledge of the environment and our relationship to it with as many people as possible.

Here at TreePeople, August is Volunteer Appreciation Month. Our work, at the end of the day, begins and ends with the people that support trees.

Many of us know how it feels to have an irrepressible urge to do good but not know exactly what to do with that energy. With all of the challenges our world faces — from social inequity to climate change — how do we make sure our actions bring about the most good? How do…
Happy National Dog Day! Here at TreePeople, you’ll often hear us say: Trees need people, and people need trees. But people aren’t the only ones who need trees – our furry friends do as well! Especially in this summer heat, a shady tree is much appreciated. Urban trees can cool a city by up to…
Since March 2018, TreePeople has been restoring a fire-damaged area of San Francisquito Canyon in the Angeles National Forest.
