"Whatever you can do, or believe you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Healing the City of Angels
As a teenager, Andy Lipkis learned that smog was killing the forests of Southern California. He and his friends began planting and caring for trees, and were dubbed the “tree people.” More than 30 years later, Andy’s pathfinding efforts have proven the feasibility of making large cities sustainable, and have resulted in the planting of two million trees, the education of one million schoolchildren, and, most recently, the retrofitting of a portion of Los Angeles to function as an urban forest watershed.
