The City of Los Angeles currently has a tree canopy of only 21%, compared to the national average of 27%. The City of LA and LADWP are currently involved in an effort to plant a million trees. Not only will more trees make Los Angeles greener, they can also significantly reduce energy costs, remove air pollutants, capture storm water runoff, increase property value, promote commercial districts, absorb noise, and encourage more pedestrian foot traffic. The LADWP Trees for a Green LA Program in partnership with Million Trees LA has made it simple for Los Angeles City residents to receive FREE shade trees through the Trees for a Green LA program (TFGLA). Follow these simple steps to enjoy the benefits of cool natural shade, energy efficiency, and clean air:

1. Complete an online workshop.

2. Submit your completed tree order and site plan.

3. LADWP will deliver the trees to your home; you then plant and care for them.

Here's the link to the Online Workshop
