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

Founded in 1973 by teenagers, TreePeople staff and volunteers continue to plant trees and restore the pollution-damaged mountains of Southern California. TreePeople has pioneered more than 200 tree-planting groups worldwide, and as one of the largest environmental educators in the U.S., TreePeople has initiated numerous large-scale public and youth education programs. The result: millions of people caring for their local environment by planting trees, recycling and preventing the pollution of stormwater.

Both regionally and nationally, TreePeople is helping to promote integrated watershed management practices through education, planting projects, policy development and research.

With more than 8,000 members, thousands of volunteers and 40 full-time and part-time staff, TreePeople is one of the largest independent environmental organizations in California. We are a private nonprofit, 501(c)3 that’s financially supported by the public and private sector, including individual donors, foundations, government, businesses, grants and memberships.

TreePeople’s mission is to inspire, engage and support people to take personal responsibility for the urban environment, making it safe, healthy, fun and sustainable and to share the results as a model for the world.
