Thinking of Volunteering? Think TreePeople.
By Gary Kreiger
The nonprofit TreePeople organization was instituted to unite the power of trees, people and technology in order to grow a sustainable future for Los Angeles. Their work and their message is to help nature heal our cities. Check out their website at www.treepeople.org.
Located at the top of Coldwater Canyon, TreePeople is on the east side of the canyon where Coldwater Canyon, Mulholland Dr. and Franlkin Canyon intersect. Their 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”. If you go to the TreePeople site, you’ll find an outdoor classroom, hiking trails and a beautiful park. TreePeople is a favorite of local residents in the Longridge Estates area of Sherman Oaks, the Dixie Canyon Estates area of Sherman Oaks and people throughout the Studio City, Sherman Oaks and surrounding communities.
Consider volunteering at TreePeople as they are always looking for help and support!
