Mission

In 2024, our work made a lasting impact on both people and the environment. Together with our community, we planted 2,739 new plants and trees, ensuring future shade, cleaner air, and greener neighborhoods. We also cared for 7,442 trees, strengthening the health of our existing urban forest. To extend our reach, we distributed 981 plants and trees for community members to steward in their own spaces. In total, we actively cared for 204.24 acres of habitat, protecting and restoring vital green spaces that support biodiversity, provide refuge for wildlife, and create healthier communities.

Program accomplishments

  • NET's Urban Forestry Program focuses on expanding the Los Angeles urban tree canopy to help cool down and beautify under resourced communities. NET plants and maintains street trees along neighborhood streets and gives fruit and shade trees to residents. These trees provide not just the emotional health benefits urban green spaces support, they help manage stormwater and reduce urban heat, which in turn decreases energy costs. Through outreach, education and workforce development, NET teaches people how to plant and care for their trees, about the importance and benefits of trees, and how to develop and care for their urban forest.
    Expenses $2,148,159
  • NET's Parks and Open Space Program designs and builds public parks and green spaces and implements water conservation projects following Nature Based Solutions and Low Impact Development design principles. For example, the installation of bioswales helps water travel on paths so it can penetrate the earth before it runs off to the streets and into storm drains. Schools, agencies, foundations, and the City and County of Los Angeles are among the beneficiaries of NET's work eliminating invasive species, planting drought resistant native plants and trees to restore the habitat, and installing site attributes such as playgrounds, public information signage, landscaping and boulders, sidewalks, and drinking fountains.
    Expenses $872,321
  • Other Programs included land stewardship, management, open space conservation and operating a nursery.
    Expenses $278,856
