TreePeople is a
California based nonprofit environmental advocacy group located in Los Angeles.
TreePeople promotes sustainable urban ecosystems in the Greater Los Angeles
area through education, support for volunteer community-based action, and
advocacy. It focuses on increasing the region's urban forest by supporting
people in planting and caring for trees at homes, on school yards, and in
neighborhoods. It also supports volunteers in restoring damaged local forest
ecosystems in the Santa Monica Mountains, Angeles National Forest and San
Bernardino National Forest. Beyond simply planting and caring for trees,
TreePeople works to promote urban watershed management, using green
infrastructure to address critical urban water issues. It educates and
advocates for water conservation and stormwater capture in the urban landscape
for Los Angeles' long-term sustainability.
