Lawn-to-Habitat
2025-03-08 - 2025-03-09 | Lawn-to-Habitat 2025, 3604 Westwood Blvd., Los Angeles, 90034, United States
Join the Palms Neighborhood Council and our partners for the annual Lawn-to-Habitat event–THIS YEAR IN PALMS!!!

Join us for our second annual lawn to habitat transformation. We will be transforming a water-hungry, monoculture grass lawn on a multifamily property into a biodiverse habitat zone that captures rainwater, reintroduces threatened native plants to the neighborhood, and supports pollinators and the web of life in our local ecosystem over the course of two days to make Los Angeles a #SpongeCity.
We have roles for all kinds of volunteers, from those interested in digging in the dirt and planting plants to those who prefer to chat with the public about the importance of this project. Volunteers will have an opportunity to learn about reconditioning compacted soil, creating eco-friendly weed barriers, determining soil type, mulching, planting techniques and establishment care for California native plants, water capture design options, and much more. Sign up now. Invite your friends (12 years of age and up). Let’s do this!
Also, this is a great way to earn your community service hours!
Six separate time slots are available, three on Saturday and three on Sunday.
RSVP here.
Limited free street parking is available. Check the signs.
The Palms stop on the Metro E Line is a 20-minute walk away. The 33 bus runs along Venice Blvd a block south of the site, and there are Metro bikes available to help close the gaps.

Native Tree Planting for Earth Day
2025-04-26 10:00 - 14:00 | Palms Native Tree Planting Project, 10700 Block of Francis Place, Los Angeles, CA, 90034, United States
Join the Palms Neighborhood Council Green Committee and celebrate Earth Day 2025 with a native tree planting event in Palms!
The City of Los Angeles Community Forest Advisory Committee, working with the City Forest Officer and the Los Angeles Urban Forestry Division has selected four sites in the city for pilot projects to plant native tree species that have not been traditionally used as street trees. Our local biodiversity is in crisis and using native species as street trees is an effective measure to bring more ecosystem health to our urban forest while also increasing street tree canopy for shade and to offset the urban heat-island effect.
Come help us plant these great local trees–some so rare you probably have never seen them. There will also be an opportunity to sign up for the establishment watering team–a once-a-month task where you can help these trees become successfully established and watch them develop. This is your chance to contribute something that will last for generations, as some of our native trees live for hundreds of years!
