Restoring Los Angeles: Healing the Nature of Our Cities
As a teenager, Andy Lipkis learned that smog was killing the forests of Southern California. He and his friends began planting and caring for trees, and were dubbed the "tree people." More than 30 years later, Andy's path finding efforts have proven the feasibility of making large cities sustainable, and have resulted in the planting of two million trees, the education of one million schoolchildren, and, most recently, the retrofitting of Los Angeles to function as an urban forest watershed.
