Native Tree Planting for Earth Day
April 26 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
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!
