Join us for a day of service in the community with our friends at TreePeople as we help plant trees in South LA.

Why plant trees? Because shade is not distributed equally. In many cities, poor and working-class BIPOC neighborhoods have far fewer trees—part of a broader pattern of resource inequity that also affects access to healthy food, transportation, and clean air. You can learn more about this issue at treeequityscore.org.

Come lend your hands, meet your neighbors, and be part of a service-minded community supporting the vital work of conservation, urban forestry, post-fire ecosystem restoration, and shade equity. 🌳

What to bring:

• Wide-brimmed hat: To shield your face and neck from the sun.

• Sunscreen: Apply generously before and during the event.

• Work gloves: While we'll have some available, bringing your own ensures a comfortable fit.

• Comfortable Clothing:  Wear light, breathable clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty.

• Footwear: Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are essential for your safety. No sandals or flip-flops please!

• Reusable water bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial in the summer heat.

• Small snack: If you have specific dietary needs or want an extra boost.

• Hand sanitizer: To keep your hands clean.
