The Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance Trees Committee came together in July 2016 at an NCSA open space forum and continues to meet regularly by teleconference.
Our mission: to protect the city's urban forest and to promote its care on behalf of the community through advocacy, outreach, and education.
Our goals:
1) Promote conservation of our city's trees and tree canopy
2) Advocate for proper tree care, including watering sufficiently and pruning minimally in appropriate seasons
3) Foster support for best tree management of public and private trees
4) Promote understanding of the science behind tree canopy preservation
5) Engender respect for trees and green space
6) Support and hold city departments and decision makers accountable for implementing the Dudek Report: Developing an Urban Forest Management Plan for the City of Los Angeles
Tree Removal Notices
Founding Trees Committee member Joanne D’Antonio posted City tree removal requests from January 2018 to 2024 to provide easy access to the public should an objection feel warranted. Tree removal request notices are listed, usually with photos, and how to challenge them at https://www.ncsa.la/proposed_tree_removal_listings. We also provide information on how to object in a timely way to a removal request.
