About TreePeople

TreePeople’s work is about uniting the power of people, trees and nature-based solutions to grow a sustainable future for Los Angeles. Our goal is to create abundant tree canopy and ample local water supply in even the most over-paved parts of our city. We bring communities together to restore the natural watershed, and in so doing help nature heal our city.

TreePeople was born from the efforts a teenager over 40 years ago. Since then, more than two million people of all ages have joined in the positive work of reclaiming a healthy environment across Los Angeles. Together, we’re making a difference in our homes, our schools, our neighborhoods and in the local mountains. As we build volunteer leaders in our communities, we also advocate at the highest levels of government for policies that make a significant difference to our ecosystem, communities and economy.
