Last Saturday, 26 volunteers showed up to help us plant 13 trees in the Industrial District/Southern most Arts District of downtown Los Angeles. This tree-planting was made possible by a grant from CalReleaf & CalFire. We partnered with the Korean Youth Community Center (KYCC) to make this happen. Uptown Pup, a new business in the area, generously provided a place to set up!

In this blog we will be looking at how trees can positively impact the economic well being of our cities and personal lives.
