Getting Started

TreePeopleā€™s 4th Los Angeles Urban Soil Symposium dug into climate gardening, the ways landscapes are socially and ecologically constructed, and strategies to better adapt our cities to the realities of climate change. treepeople.org/2025/03/17/u...

How has climate change impacted your life in Southern California? Have you experienced severe weather events like fire, extreme heat, or flooding? Or noticed climate-related changes in your community or neighborhood? Weā€™re looking for stories for an exciting research project! tinyurl.com/yh5yjxjh

IMPORTANT UPDATE: although the federal governmentā€™s initial ā€œfunding freezeā€ has ended, millions of dollars in grant funds we rely on remain on hold. Here's what that means for our work: treepeople.org/2025/02/24/f...

As the largest community-based org conducting restoration in SoCal, TreePeople is uniquely positioned to transform fire-scarred sites back into functioning, fire-adapted ecosystems. Help support this critical work now by donating to our new Wildfire Resilience fund: treepeople.org/wildfire/

Fire recovery in LA's communities and wildlands will be a long road. But it's comforting to remember the resiliency of our native plants, which have evolved incredible adaptations for dealing with fire. In fact, some grow even better after the ashes settle. treepeople.org/2025/01/31/f...

Iā€™ve started volunteering more regularly at @treepeople-org.bsky.social and itā€™s freakin awesome. Meeting the greatest bunch of people and learning about so many amazing programs happening in our awesome city for saving the environment. Humans were meant to plant stuff together. šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š #treepeople

The recent LA fires took a devastating toll on both our communities and our local ecosystems, and many have reached out to ask when habitat restoration will begin in these burn scars. The short answer: not for a while. Nature needs time to heal first. Here's why: treepeople.org/2025/01/22/a...
