LOCAL STORY
Tree Planting in
SoCal Connects Community with Environment
(Los Angeles, CA)- Years ago, as a 15-year-old
camper in the San Bernardino Mountains, he'd noticed pine trees ravaged
by smog and fire and had mobilized friends to plant a smog-tolerant
variety in their place. A lifelong mission was born. As the president
of TreePeople, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Lipkis, now
54, has inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to plant more than
two million trees throughout Southern California.
