This would be a towering feat for any organization, but TreePeople gathered all of its muscle to get it done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many trees were distributed&nbsp;through local schools and field trips to TreePeople\u2019s Coldwater Canyon Park. Our staff and volunteers gave out tens of thousands of Canary Island pines at school presentations in the early 80\u2019s. Here, students and families took a pledge to care for the tiny saplings and give them a new home in yards and gardens throughout Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treepeople.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/million_tree_campaign_5_planting_1_LO2-400x270.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5130\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiffany Paige was one of those students. In 1983, Tiffany and her Carthay Center Elementary School class went on a field trip to Coldwater Canyon Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe did a tour of the park and learned about the environment. They gave us a tree in a milk carton and I brought it home. My mom was always in the garden. We\u2019d play in the soil, play with the earthworms,\u201d Tiffany said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the end of the day, Tiffany and her mother planted their tree in the backyard of their Pico-Robertson area apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe never would have thought it would have got so big!\u201d Neenah Paige said, Tiffany\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treepeople.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/38830428585_0865b54b86_k-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5129\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The tree they planted 35 years ago is now the tallest thing on their street. It towers over their two-story mid-century apartment building and even dwarfs the newer four-story apartment complex at the end of the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve given it so much love. It\u2019s my baby. I water it. I feed it with fertilizer. It\u2019s been a joy to watch it grow!\u201d Neenah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lessons Tiffany learned while caring for her tree have stayed with her to this day. She now sits on the board of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityhealinggardens.org\/\">&nbsp;Community Healing Gardens<\/a>, a non-profit focused on creating positive change in local neighborhoods through planting and caring for urban gardens, and also runs her own sustainably focused platform,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenwithtiffany.com\/\">Green With Tiffany<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treepeople.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/38830414705_34ca4b3039_k-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5131\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTrees, like the one I planted in my mom\u2019s backyard, represent everything in our sustainable world. They give us life, they clean our air, they provide us shade\u2013 from their roots to their leaves they are the building block of our natural world,\u201d said Tiffany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tiffany\u2019s experience is a reminder of what we all can learn from the simple act of planting a tree. What we discover about our responsibility for the world around us takes hold in our consciousness just like roots adventuring out into the soil. Not only does that tiny sapling grow into a mighty tree, but we also grow as people with it, branches and arms outstretched together to make a better world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are you ready to establish your roots and grow with LA\u2019s urban forest?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.treepeople.org\/calendar\">Join us at one of our upcoming tree planting events!<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written for TreePeople.org In 1981, TreePeople set a lofty goal to plant 1 million trees in Los Angeles by the start of the 1984 Olympics.
