Located between the intersection of Pico Boulevard and Union Avenue immediately west of Downtown, Pico-Union is the fourth-most-dense neighborhoods in all of Los Angeles with over 40,000 residents. Often overlooked, Pico-Union lacks adequate green space and tree canopy, subjecting the community to poor air quality and extreme heat during the hot months. This Earth Day, Pico-Union Project is hosting a tree and succulent planting event to continue to enhance the community and fight climate change. With community support and in partnership with Blue Sky LA, 40 native species of trees and succulents will be planted across the neighborhood throughout the day. Pico-Union Project will thereafter ensure that the plants get the water and care they need to continue to grow and thrive.","date":1650585600,"updated_at":1746176620},{"id":"ee625d28-0d61-4a5c-bc86-de21459d4c42","name":"Community Urban Gardens","latitude":34.08416,"longitude":-118.07116,"address":"9063 Mission Drive, Rosemead, CA 91770","type":"School-based Initiative","status":"Completed","stats":[["Volunteers","24"],["Trees Planted","5"]],"images":["https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/0.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/1.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/2.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/3.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/4.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/5.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/6.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/7.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/8.jpg","https://pub-e73be415791e446a9f0ee87b1a25e5cc.r2.dev/projects/community-urban-gardens/9.jpg"],"description":"Eco Urban Gardens is hosting a volunteer event at Rosemead High School focusing on two main projects: the completion of a Vegetated Bioswale and the foundation of a Greenhouse. 5 small trees will be given away to volunteers who want to maintain and care for these trees.
