History
TreePeople, a non-profit environmental organization, was founded by Andy Lipkis in Los Angeles in 1973. Originally called
the California Conservation Project (CCP), the group was more commonly referred to as the "TreePeople," and was thus, renamed
in 1974. Lipkis established the organization at the age of eighteen following his experiences at a leadership training program
in the San Bernardino National forest. After attending the program, Lipkis directed his efforts toward establishing the CCP
in order to provide people with environmental education and the opportunity to plant trees.
In 1977 TreePeople established their headquarters in Los Angeles on the grounds of a former fire station. The site was renamed
Coldwater Canyon Park, and would later serve as TreePeople's Center for Community Forestry. Since its founding, TreePeople
have worked to promote environmental awareness through city-wide tree planting programs, as well as environmental education
and training for the local community, and on a global scale. TreePeople's efforts have included disaster-relief work, in addition
to initiating significant urban planting projects. These projects include the Million Tree Campaign in 1981, which encouraged
the planting of one million trees before the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics; the Martin Luther King Boulevard Memorial Project,
where three hundred trees were planted in a single day; and the Big Tree Campaign, an urban-planting project aimed at providing
shade to homes, buildings, and large sun-exposed spaces in and around the greater Los Angeles area.

Press Clippings
1970-2010
Scope and Content
The series consists of newspaper and magazine articles about TreePeople and their activities and organizational development.
The bulk of the clippings/articles are from both local and national newspapers and magazines, such as LA Daily News and Los
Angeles Times. Also includes a small amount of pieces that were not clipped from their original publication. The writings
represent Andy Lipkis’ founding of the organization and his role as director; the organization’s community education efforts;
disaster relief work; and involvement in significant projects, such as the million tree campaign in Los Angeles prior to the
1984 Olympic Games. Additionally, there are a small number of clippings on the topic of trees as well as general environmental
issues. The series is likely to include duplicative materials and there is no specific arrangement.

Photographic Materials

Scope and Content
The series consists of photographs, slides, negatives, and proof sheets documenting TreePeople and their activities and events.
The materials represent TreePeople staff and volunteers; urban, mountain and citizen forestry work, disaster relief work,
fruit tree distribution project, educational outreach and programs, such as Generation Earth, and special events, such as
the Marina Freeway Run, Martin Luther King Boulevard Memorial Project, and Harvest Moon. Additionally, there are a small number
of photographs/snapshots featuring Andy Lipkis and notable individuals such as Mayor Tom Bradley, Vice President Al Gore,
Gregory Peck, and Betty White, among others.
The photographs are mostly snapshots, with a small amount of professional shots. The slides are 35mm. There is no specific
arrangement; however, many of the images have been grouped by like content, which is indicated by the file title or in the
notes. Many of the slides are unidentified and are labeled “slide binder.” Slides have been removed from binders for preservation
