Expand<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\u201cWe\u2019ve collaborated with TreePeople for this Friday Night Moonlight Hike series each and every month since January 2022, and it\u2019s been a joyous journey,\u201d said Living Earth\u2019s Noah Klein. \u201cThis Friday we\u2019re trying something new by incorporating more of a storytime and reading element with live music that\u2019s been a gorgeous, feel-good experiment when we\u2019ve held it with other community partners around town.\u201d<\/p>\n
Organizers offer three hiking levels, making the evening accessible for everyone from casual walkers to more experienced hikers.<\/p>\n
Behind the moonlit trails and music sits a larger purpose. TreePeople has long operated as a volunteer driven organization focused on restoring landscapes and strengthening urban forestry efforts throughout Southern California. For Adame, the work extends beyond planting trees. \u201cThose trees that go into the ground are only successful if they receive the care they need,\u201d she said. \u201cSo much of the survival of the tree depends on the community we work with understanding the value of those trees, understanding how to care for them, and understanding the benefits those trees bring not only to themselves, but to the entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n
That philosophy has increasingly shaped the organization\u2019s environmental education efforts.<\/p>\n
Rather than assuming environmental spaces naturally attract everyone, TreePeople has intentionally focused on creating spaces where people who may not traditionally see themselves represented in environmental work feel welcomed into the conversation. \u201cOur goal is to create a space for those who maybe don\u2019t see themselves represented in the environmental sector,\u201d Adame said. \u201cWe want to bring them in through music, art, and community so they can find a place within this larger mission and movement.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Los Angeles continues navigating conversations around climate resilience, public spaces, and community connection, TreePeople\u2019s moonlight hikes suggest another possibility, that environmental stewardship does not always begin with a shovel in hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
