The Port of Los Angeles will be giving away free trees! Trees are usually of 5-gallon size and you must provide your own transportation for the trees. Each family is limited to a maximum two free trees which will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis. Come early to not miss out.
Saturday, August 16, at 10 a.m.
Neptune Field (located at Neptune Avenue and C Street), Wilmington
If you are unable to make the 8/16 event and you are an L.A. DWP customer there is another way you can obtain free shade trees. Take a 20-minute online workshop on how to select, site and plant trees on your property. You will receive up to seven trees delivered to your door. See the links below for more information.

Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) will be holding two important meetings regarding the proposed South Region High School #15 at Angels Gate / Ft. MacArthur Upper Reservation. The public is invited, and encouraged, to attend these meetings.
Preliminary Environmental Assessment Hearing
Here is a description of the Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) process from the Department of Toxic Substances Control website:
“A Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) is required when there is potential contamination on the school site. The report includes results of environmental sampling and a health risk assessment conducted according to DTSC guidelines. As required by the Education Code, school districts must make the report available for public review and comment before DTSC’s final determination. DTSC is required to approve or disapprove the PEA Report within 30 days of close of public review period or within 30 days of the school district’s approval of the Environmental Impact Report for the school. If the assessment identifies no significant health or environmental risks, the school district will receive a “No Further Action” determination letter from DTSC and the process is complete. If the assessment identifies potential contamination, further action will be required.”
