City Plants\u2019 goals are to improve energy efficiency and increase the tree canopy in the many L.A. communities that need more shade.<\/p>\n<p>Every Saturday, City Plants and two other nonprofits \u2014 LA Compost and Los Angeles Beautification Team \u2014 hold \u201ctree adoptions\u201d in different parts of the city. According to City Plants executive director Carlos Campero, \u201cAdopting means you receive the free trees, and in return you pledge to water and care for the tree until it is established.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery resident, regardless of their neighborhood, deserves access to the clean air and cooling benefits that trees provide,\u201d Campero said. \u201cOur adoption events are critical because they foster a sense of stewardship. When a resident adopts a tree, they commit to being part of the solution for a healthier, greener Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"mng-gallery-initialized mng-gallery-slider\">\n<li data-index=\"1\" class=\"mng-ge mng-gallery-active\" id=\"mng-ge-0\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Volunteers get compost ready on Saturday, Encino Dec 6, 2025....\" class=\"size-article_inline\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/LDN-L-TREE-ADOPTION-1211-3.jpg\"\/>\n<p>Volunteers get compost ready on Saturday, Encino Dec 6, 2025.
