Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.
On Saturday, April 23, LABT celebrated Earth Day working with a North Hollywood Neighborhood to plant trees. This was phase 3 of a 4-phase ongoing planting of 340 trees in North Hollywood.
This event was funded by CalFire (California Department of Forestry) and the support of Paul Krekorian, Councilmember of CD2.
We had volunteers from the community who joined us and were very excited to be planting in their own community. Youtubers livestreamed the event.
Volunteers received a demonstration on how to properly plant a tree. After the demonstration, the volunteers divided into groups and were assigned and LABT supervisor to go plant.
The trees we planted that day were Australian Willows, Chinese Pistache, Crape Myrtle, and Chinese Flames. These trees will provide oxygen and shade, improve air quality, conserve water, preserve soil, and support wildlife.
