Palisades Beautiful

We’re dedicated to revitalizing our neighborhood through native landscaping. Our mission is to make the Palisades more beautiful and sustainable one plant at a time.


Why plant trees?

Clean Air

Trees natrually remove carbon dioxide in the air and release oxygen. They also remove dangeous pollutants such as SO2 NO2 and PM2.5 which are causes of serious health hazards. These are main components of wildfire smoke. More trees help protect us against these toxins as debris is removed and rebuilding begins.

Street Trees

Parkway trees, planted between the road and homes, beautify our streets and contribute to clean air. Many of these were planted by the original Palisades Beautiful and have now been burned and cut down. We are working with the city to obtain permits to replant these. The interactive map below shows where parkways trees have been lost. Help catalog more trees using the app!

About us

Formed in the 1970s, the original Palisades Beautiful planted over 1500 trees in our community. Starting with the Jacarandas on Northfield, it grew into a project that spanned across the Palisades. Their work has been covered in multiple articles by the Palisades Post.

Sadly, that organization shut down in the early 2020s. We aim to bring its idea back with a focus on drought tolerant, native, or naturalized vegetation in the community. Our focus now is on fire recovery and replanting efforts, and we hope to expand to more community events in the future.

    President

    Noah grew up in the Palisades and lived on Northfield Street prior to the fire. He is a professional software engineer and an amateur gardener. Fortunately, his parents house made it through the fire and is now used as the base for his work in the palisades.

We’re a small group just getting started, and looking for more volunteers! If you’re interested please email us! info@palisadesbeautiful.org.
