Healthy Trees = More Shade

Did you know that the tree canopy on Sunset Boulevard has drastically declined over the past 25 years?

Join Friends of Sunset Boulevard’s “Tree Herder” program and help:

  • “Herd” the trees of the Boulevard — expose the buried flares of trees, new and established (important for tree health)

  • Map existing tree inventory and overall health of trees on the Boulevard

  • Propose trees that should be landmarked.

  • Recommend trees that need pruning or removal for safety or tree health reasons.

  • Develop strategies to increase the tree canopy, particularly larger shade trees.
