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.
Our work is made possible entirely possible by donations. Your donations go directly to trees and other plants, supplies for community cleanups, and essential materials including soil, mulch and nursery pots.
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

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.
