The Mar Vista Arbor Group advocates and cares for trees in our community. We work to increase the urban tree canopy in Los Angeles.

• Trees slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide.

• Trees calm traffic.

• Trees provide food and habitat for birds.

• Trees benefit human health, lowering stress and boosting lifespan.

 

What do we do?
