Only feet away from Interstate 5\u2013where hundreds of thousands of vehicles roll down the freeway every day\u2013a team of TreePeople staff and volunteers assembled at Pacoima Middle School on Saturday, October 14th to bring dozens of new trees and much needed green space to the campus. As the temperatures soared to over 90 degrees, concrete was removed and shovels cracked through the dirt to plant a shadier, cooler future for the school\u2019s students. It wasn\u2019t long before a barricade of green could be seen between the playground and the highway.

The trees our volunteers planted at Pacoima Middle School will do more than just bring shade to the playground. They\u2019ll help shield from the grinding noise of traffic. They\u2019ll help facilitate a better learning environment. They\u2019ll help filter pollutants. They\u2019ll help capture water from storms. They\u2019ll help not only students but the surrounding community as well. As the final tree made its home in the ground, across the field families were gathered on the campus for youth soccer games\u2014an important reminder of the need for expanding community green space throughout Southern California.

This isn\u2019t the end for TreePeople and Pacoima Middle School. Later this year we\u2019ll be tearing up more concrete and making room for a brand new learning garden that will be at the heart of the campus. These gardens will create opportunities for expanded experiential learning and natural space for students to connect to the outdoor world and recharge. This work would not be possible if not for our thousands of volunteers and our donors who help us create a greener, healthier, more equitable Southern California.
