TreePeople&#8217;s greening movement has planted over 3 million trees with 3 million volunteers since its inception in 1973, including 30,000 trees on school campuses. The school greening program aims to protect local students from extreme heat, air pollution and polluted water.

Together they plant and maintain tree growth in schools. This program has run for over 30 years so far and TreePeople is accelerating and expanding this program to meet the need posed by extreme heat in urban neighborhoods whose schools lack adequate tree canopy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TreePeople has a formal &nbsp; partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). They work with other school districts to catalyze greening schools as a priority, too, including those in the Inland Empire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2022\/08\/2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Children planting trees together on school campus\" class=\"wp-image-10739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2022\/08\/2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2022\/08\/2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2022\/08\/2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2022\/08\/2-853x640.jpg 853w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2022\/08\/2-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/answerconnect-blog\/1\/2022\/08\/2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is School Greening Beneficial?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Extreme heat has become a growing issue in places like Los Angeles.
