Summer has officially arrived, and there’s plenty to be excited about at TreePeople. Over the next few weeks, we’re bringing together filmmakers, musicians, photographers, environmental leaders, and community members for a series of events at Coldwater Canyon Park that explore our relationship with nature in inspiring and unexpected ways. Whether you’re looking to learn, connect, or simply enjoy, I hope you’ll join us. I’m especially excited about our upcoming screening of Groundswell, a powerful documentary that examines the promise of regenerative agriculture as a solution to some of our biggest environmental challenges. This special fundraiser for TreePeople in our very own S. Mark Taper Foundation Amphitheatre will feature a live discussion with the film’s director and producer and an optional VIP experience. This Friday, our beloved Moonlight Hikes continue with a special performance by Jordan Lee of Mutual Benefit followed by a guided nighttime hike with our Eco-Educators through Coldwater Canyon. We are also honored to host the nationally touring Wildfire Resilience: A Transcontinental Conversation, a moving collection of images that captures both the devastation of wildfire and the resilience of the communities and landscapes that endure. Join us for one or all of these experiences. Tickets are available for all of these events! With gratitude, |

Anatomy of a Montane Conifer Forest Have you ever ventured high into the mountains in SoCal and suddenly found yourself surrounded by conifer trees? You may have come across a montane conifer forest! Found in SoCal’s higher altitudes, these evergreen forests host a unique array of plant and animal species, help preserve and clean our water supplies, and provide mountain recreation opportunities for countless Angelenos. That’s why our Conservation team is currently planting thousands of native conifer seedlings to help restore them after fire. Read on to learn more about how these fascinating ecosystems function, and how you can help protect them! Learn more! |
