TreePeople - a Year of Accomplishment with Subaru - Brielle C
With the help of Subaru of Sherman Oaks, TreePeople was able to have an incredible year full of growth, resilience, and accomplishment. Through our team of over 100 staff and thousands of volunteers, supporters, and partners like Subaru, we continue to lead with action, education, and engagement to implement nature-based solutions across Southern California - building a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future. In 2024, TreePeople began the Cindy Montañez Young Leaders Program, a paid internship that gives the next generation of environmental leaders - high school students - a deep dive into green career options. We expanded field trips for K-12 students in environmentally burdened communities to learn firsthand the benefits of urban and mountain forests, rivers and watersheds, as well as recycling and waste facilities. The Pacoima Living Schoolyard was completed, replacing 14,000 square feet of asphalt with 107 trees, pollinator gardens, outdoor learning spaces, and a shade tree barrier to reduce freeway pollution. Our community forestry program planted 3,326 trees and distributed 3,214 fruit trees to ensure equitable access to shade and fresh food in historically underserved communities. Thanks to Subaru of Sherman Oaks, TreePeople was able to accomplish many goals in 2024 and are excited to continue bringing our mission to life with the help of incredible partners like Subaru.
