Annette Bening Launches TreePeople Center

On October 2, 2008, Actor Annette Bening joined with TreePeople, a Los Angeles-based environmental nonprofit, to celebrate the opening of TreePeople Center for Community Forestry. This four-acre, $10 million environmental educational campus, located in L.A.s Coldwater Canyon Park, will serve more than 70,000 visitors annually. Bening joined school children and public officials at the ribbon cutting event where visitors learn basic principles of how natural forests work, and simple ways to apply these principles in an urban setting to actively prevent and protect against climate change, water and air pollution, and water shortages.
