Come Help Plant Trees Around Our Local School
At the event, volunteers and residents will come together to plant 28 new street trees, enjoy food, music, and family-friendly activities, and learn about local resources that support environmental equity.
This effort is funded in part by LASAN’s BeLeaf in Equity grant, a USDA Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Grant program dedicated to increasing tree canopy coverage and advancing climate resilience in communities disproportionately impacted by extreme heat and limited green space.
