Our Tree Planting Partners

These non-profit groups are key leaders in implementing Million Trees LA and have committed to planting large numbers of trees throughout the City.

Hollywood/Los Angeles Beautification Team (H.LABT)
This group will help plant 125,000 trees in Council Districts 2, 4 and portions of Council District 13.

H/LABT is a grass roots oriented non-profit which works County wide implementing tree planting and other environmental projects, in partnership with community members. Our mission is to help build healthy neighborhoods and schools through community capacity building, environmental education, and sustainable physical improvements, and to create job opportunities for at risk youth, all of which will be the basis for implementing this program.

Koreatown Youth and Community Center
This group will help plant 50,000 trees in Council Districts 10.

The Koreatown Youth & Community Center is a non-profit, community-based organization
that has been focused on serving the Koreatown and central Los Angeles communities since 1975. KYCC's programs and services are mainly directed towards recently-immigrated, economically-disadvantaged youth and their families who experience difficulties due to language and cultural barriers. KYCC's Environmental Services Unit programs include tree planting, energy and natural resource conservation, recycling, graffiti abatement, and community cleanup events.

Los Angeles Conservation Corps
This group will help plant over 200,000 trees in Council District's 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 15.

North East Trees
This group will help plant 200,000 trees in Council Districts 1, 12, portions of 13, and 14.

North East Trees has been an integral part of the development of the Million Trees LA guidelines and direction. In so doing, North East Trees has recommended an approach to maximize the environmental benefits to “restore nature’s services” and develop the local leadership and community stewardship capacity to ensure that the planting and nurturing of these 200,000 trees will substantially improve the quality of life in the affected neighborhoods.

TreePeople
This group is helping the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks plant 300,000 trees on Recreation and Parks property city-wide including wilderness areas.

Founded in 1973 by teenagers, TreePeople staff and volunteers have planted over two million trees in L.A. on city streets, school campuses and the mountains surrounding Los Angeles. TreePeople delivered L.A.'s first Million Tree Campaign in 1981-84 and has pioneered more than 200 tree-planting groups worldwide. They also created the term Citizen Forester. TreePeople's work is about helping nature heal our cities.
