Where music, movie screenings and environmental education converge
LOS ANGELES, CA — TreePeople is thrilled to announce an exciting slate of concerts and film screenings at our S. Mark Taper Foundation Amphitheatre, an enchanting 150-person space nestled deep in the woods of our Coldwater Canyon Park. Our new TreePeople Presents programming will offer a unique blend of entertainment and education throughout the season, giving Angelenos a chance to learn about and engage with our local ecosystem while enjoying thoughtfully curated cultural programming. To view the full schedule of events and purchase tickets, visit treepeople.org/events.
Before each concert and film screening, TreePeople experts will present micro-lectures on Southern California ecology. Past little lectures have included how Los Angeles is not a desert, how soil health affects immune systems, how palms are not trees, and more. These insightful talks will provide attendees with fascinating knowledge about the local ecosystem, ensuring that everyone leaves a little smarter and more aware of the natural world around them.

All TreePeople events support the critical environmental work our nonprofit does. In the past 50 years, we have planted millions of trees with millions of volunteers, educated hundreds of thousands of students on the environment, published dozens of studies/reports, restored acres and acres of forests up in our mountains, protected thousands of acres of land from being developed in the Santa Monica Mountains near Calabasas. We are also working on removing 500,000 square feet of asphalt on school campuses and replacing it with learning gardens and shaded fields and more natural spaces.
“We are excited to offer a space where people can not only enjoy top-notch entertainment but also connect with and learn about the natural environment,” said Alex Miller, Director of Marketing & Communications at TreePeople. “TreePeople’s unique expertise and park allows us to create a unique experience that enriches both the mind and soul.”
Join us for an unforgettable experience where culture and nature converge. Guests are invited to come early and picnic before the events.
