TreePeople is a nonprofit organization that has been serving the Los Angeles area for over three decades. Simply put, our work is about helping nature heal our cities. We offer sustainable solutions to urban ecosystem problems, focusing on three areas:

1. Training and supporting communities to plant and care for trees
2. Educating school children and adults about the environment
3. Working with government agencies on critical water issues
4. Training and supporting communities to plant and care for trees

Our volunteers have planted over two million trees in the L.A. area over the past thirty years. We support people like you to plant and care for trees on school campuses, city streets and the mountains surrounding Los Angeles.

We have one of the nation?s largest environmental education programs and we connect communities and families to the nature that surrounds them. Over 300 schools in L.A. County participate in our programs, that's over 200,000 students each year, with 10,000 kids coming to our headquarters in Coldwater Canyon Park for Eco-tours.

We?re contracted with the County of Los Angeles to deliver Generation Earth, a program that supports teens to complete environmental projects.

We encourage government agencies to reverse the waste of water by capturing, cleaning and storing rainwater. We have five demonstration projects around L.A. County including a 110,000-gallon underground cistern at an elementary school near Los Angeles Airport (LAX).
