TreePeople Event at Harbor Regional Park

Yesterday morning I participated in a tree-care event at Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park. About 15 volunteers weeded around the bases of trees that were planted previously by TreePeople, a nonprofit that plants and cares for trees and works toward cleaning LA's air in other sustainable ways. We then watered and mulched.

I was also the official photographer, but unfortunately my photos are stuck inside the camera. My battery gave out, and when I recharged it, the camera still wouldn't turn on. So I guess the battery has bit the dust. I checked online for a replacement, and delivery to my doorstep would cost $79.99. Gee, they don't make it attractive to keep an old model, do they!

I encourage you to check out TreePeople. I often have a tree planted in someone's name instead of giving him or her a gift. As I write on the gift card, we all have too many things, but the world does not have enough trees. I especially like to give a tree to a newborn, planting the seed for a life of giving and community involvement.
