Glassell Park Tree Giveaway

Glassell Park -Annual Fruit Tree Giveaway
In its continuing effort to promote improvement projects in Glassell Park and its Northeast Neighboring Communities, the Glassell Park Improvement Association (GPIA) is sponsoring its annual Fruit Tree Giveaway. The GPIA has participated in TreePeople Fruit Tree Program which in turn distributes these trees free to the community.

Since 1973, TreePeople has been connecting communities with trees. Starting in 1984, when TreePeople added the distribution of fruit trees to this mission, more than 80,000 fruit trees have been planted in backyards, on school campuses and in community gardens throughout Los Angeles County.

Joining the GPIA and TreePeople, Northeast Trees will be distributing free shade trees. North East Trees participates in the Million Trees LA (MTLA) Campaign through its "Creating Community One Tree at a Time" Initiative; and the Los Angeles Dept. of Water & Power Trees for Green LA Project through implementation of this Urban Forestry approach.

In keeping with the spirit of "greening" our communities, native plants will be on sale from the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants, Inc. Free mulch from the Dept. Of Public Works/Bureau of Sanitation/Mulch Program, and seeds from the Dept of Environmental Affairs.

Special guests this year are the founders of TreePeople, Andy Lipkis and Northeast Trees, Scott Wilson.

The GPIA, celebrating its 40th anniversary is an all volunteer non profit organization founded to promote "pride in our community" and "improve Glassell Park".

All are welcomed. Rain or shine, event starts at noon until are trees are gone.

In Munich, Germany, today we have sub-zero temperatures, and our thoughts are with 'Glühwein', tree-planting will come in spring. But good work of the people of the community of Glassell Park!
