  Tree People
TreePeople was born when 15-year-old Andy Lipkis heard that Los Angeles' smog was killing the trees in the San Bernardino Mountains and responded by organizing his fellow summer campers to plant smog-tolerant seedlings.
TreePeople’s newest program, the T.R.E.E.S. (Transagency Resources for Environmental and Economic Sustainability) Project, is a coalition of federal, state and municipal agencies that is working to retrofit Los Angeles with innovative practices for managing and conserving stormwater and reducing the pollution carried by urban runoff.
TreePeople's 45-acre Coldwater Canyon Park headquarters, located at the intersection of Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Mulholland Drive, features hiking trails, educational displays, a tree nursery and a fruit orchard, and is open to the public.

 American Forests: The tree gangs of glittertown - environmental groups in Los Angeles, California
TreePeople, founded by Andy Lipkis in 1970 when he was only 15, has been an incubator of sorts for the others.
More recently, TreePeople has taken on a broader citizen-forester training mission, and it has played an integral role with AFA in organizing the Fifth National Urban Forest Conference, to be held this month (November) in Los Angeles.
TreePeople's base is a converted fire station and lookout perched atop a ridge that overlooks Beverly Hills to the south and Hollywood to the north.

 Tree People by Tracy Rysavy - YES! magazine
However, TreePeople, (www.treepeople.org) a nonprofit organization in Los Angeles, is showing citizens that they can cool their neighborhoods and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by planting trees and increasing the city's green space.
The neighborhood gathered with TreePeople "expert" volunteers at eight-thirty on the morning of the planting, started work at nine, and planted 25 trees in the area between the sidewalk and the street before noon.
TreePeople also participates in a Cool Schools program, which is similar to the Citizen Forestry program, except the trees are planted in schoolyards by students, parents, and teachers.

 TreePeople Jobs in Beverly Hills California 90210 - Environmental Career Center
TreePeople’s mission is to inspire the people of Los Angeles to take personal responsibility for the urban forest — educating, training and supporting them as they plant and care for trees and improve the neighborhoods in which they live, work, and play.

 C/Z Records | Treepeople
An often melodic cross between punk and grunge highlighted by Martsch and Schmaljohn's guitar interplay, the Treepeople's sound was never really altered to fit the post-Nirvana Seattle formula, and perhaps consequently, the group never attracted as much attention outside the local scene as many of their contemporaries.
Treepeople debuted on the Toxic Shock label in 1989 with Guilt Regret Embarrassment, switching to C/Z for Something Vicious for Tomorrow, which did not appear until 1992 but also included the out-of-print EP Time Whore.
Martsch continued after Treepeople with Built to Spill, and Schmaljohn continues to play music in Boise where he returned after Treepeople called it quits in 1995.

 TrouserPress.com :: Treepeople
Their new band, Treepeople, lasted as long as the grunge hype did, but the quartet's dense post-punk music (as well as its career) remained relatively unaffected by the Seattle scene of which it became a part.
Treepeople confidently established its sound with the Time Whore EP, blending aggressive punk, catchy pop and quirky art-rock.
The latter's "Anything's Impossible" is one of the album's strongest songs, full of the rapid tempo changes and twisted guitar lines that unhinged previous Treepeople songs; on "Neil's Down," he stops thinking and just screams "I hated you" between angsty explosions of guitar and drums.

In retrospect, one could easily argue that the Treepeople should have called it quits along with Martsch, but the rest of the band wasn't ready to end it.

Their new project is, in essence, a continuation of the Treepeople's legacy.
