Planting trees is about more than creating greener spaces; it’s about investing in healthier communities and in the young people who will care for them for generations to come. Our Corps members gain valuable hands-on experience in urban forestry and environmental stewardship while making a visible difference in the communities they call home. We’re proud to join TreePeople, Delta Air Lines, LA28 volunteers, and our community partners to expand Long Beach’s tree canopy and help build a greener, more resilient future.
