Our project aims to re-establish mixed conifers in the Angeles National Forest after the 2020 Lake Fire. This forest, vital for recreation for over 20 million people in Greater Los Angeles, also supports key habitats like the Pacific Crest Trail and California spotted owl areas. We're working to restore both the ecosystem and its recreational value.
We are currently working on a new planting site with a new batch of trees for you to plant!
