North East Trees

Thank You, Los Angeles! We’re feeling the love, LA ?? A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined yesterday’s North East Trees Walking Tour of LA’s First Green Street – The Oros Project! Special gratitude to our amazing partners at the Council for Watershed Health for inviting us to be part of their dynamic speaker series and tours—we appreciate you deeply! Huge thanks to our incredible speakers who brought the history, impact, and vision of the Oros Project to life: ?- Aaron Thomas, NET’s OG Director of Urban Forestry - Holly Harper, AIA Harper, Former Architect & Project Manager who led the completion of the Oros Street Project in 2007 - Luis Rangel, NET’s Construction Manager - Drew R., Senior Project Manager at the Council for Watershed Health - Jason Casanova, Director of Planning & Information Design at the Council for Watershed Health A bit of context: ?Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, North East Trees helped build six pocket parks along the LA River in Cypress Park and Frogtown—including the ones we visited yesterday: ?- Oso Park ?- Steelhead Park ?- Egret Park We also toured LA’s first-ever Green Street: The Oros Green Street Project, completed in 2007—an inspiring example of creative green infrastructure and community-rooted design. Yesterday was a powerful reminder of what collaboration can do. Now, let’s imagine what else is possible. We need all of us to keep this vision alive. Join us.

?? Thank You, Los Angeles! We Planted a Miyawaki-inspired Micro-Forest! ?? On March 8th, North East Trees, in partnership with Kathrine Pakradouni, West Los Angeles College, the California Center for Climate Change Education, and Nature Nexus Institute, came together to plant a brand new Miyawaki-inspired Micro-Forest right on the West LA College campus! ?? ??Developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, this method creates dense, biodiverse, and self-sustaining forests in small urban spaces—aka “tiny forests”—and the benefits are powerful: ?? Biodiversity: Thriving ecosystems in compact spaces ?? Carbon Sequestration: Fast-growing trees capture CO? ?? Urban Greening: Cleaner air, cooler cities ?? Ecosystem Restoration: Healing land, restoring balance This project is a beautiful step toward a greener, more climate-resilient Los Angeles—and we couldn’t have done it without YOU! ?? Want to be part of this movement? Follow our amazing partners and get involved—because the forest needs all of us. ??Video by: Alex Michel #BringingNatureBack #NorthEastTrees #UrbanForests #ClimateJustice #GreenLAFuture #InternationalDayOfForests #TheMiyawakiMethod #MicroForest #LAClimateAction #TreeEquity

Flat Top is Growing! ?? Do you love Flat Top? We do too! And so does @RPOSD! ?? On 2/25/25, North East Trees was awarded $508,012 to expand and protect our beloved Flat Top! ??? This funding is part of the historic $17 million in Measure A grants, marking the largest parkland expansion effort in @RPOSD’s 31-year history! ?? With 623 acres of new parkland across LA County, this initiative is transforming neighborhoods, restoring wildfire-impacted lands, and ensuring a greener future for generations to come. Why does this matter? Because parks are essential. They support wildlife, trees, our communities, and future generations. They make life better for all of us! ?? ??Thank you, California, for investing in parks, nature, and our shared future! #RPOSD #MeasureADollarsAtWork #ParksMakeLifeBetter #ParkEquity #ParksForAll #BringingNatureBack #FlatTop #NorthEastTrees
