A CLEANER, GREENER, EAST LA

---

ACGELA's mission is to improve the air quality, health and appearance of underserved neighborhoods by actively engaging the public through community activities that inspire stewardship, pride, and a dedication to bettering the urban environment. ACGELA has planted and maintained thousands of trees throughout the county of Los Angeles. We've received and have successfully executed several grants despite numerous obstacles and unforeseen circumstances. We've adapted, changed, and circumvented when necessary. The trees we've planted are thriving today because we've truly engaged residents and they've taken ownership of the trees. We also continue to provide maintenance for those trees as promised. Although we've received awards and accolades for our participation in Urban Forestry, our true accomplishment is that the trees we plant in harsh environments survive!
