Our projects, which take place in parks, schoolyards, public housing developments, and the City right-of-way, benefit communities that are disinvested, overburdened, and historically under-served. We are LA's oldest design-build non profit and a recognized leader across the State for actualizing grassroots community ideas to achieve projects that prioritize nature in neighborhoods that need them the most. We envision a Los Angeles where all neighborhoods have access to a healthy urban forest and outdoor spaces. 8 8 32 5008 0 0 2805877 4359226 122579 0 0 21191 156661 13661 3085117 4394078 0 0 0 0 1440861 1915594 0 0 92414 1316512 2250730 2757373 4166324 327744 227754 2939950 4248524 324139 1404959 2615811 2843565 X In 2024, our work made a lasting impact on both people and the environment. Together with our community, we planted 2,739 new plants and trees, ensuring future shade, cleaner air, and greener neighborhoods. We also cared for 7,442 trees, strengthening the health of our existing urban forest. To extend our reach, we distributed 981 plants and trees for community members to steward in their own spaces. In total, we actively cared for 204.24 acres of habitat, protecting and restoring vital green spaces that support biodiversity, provide refuge for wildlife, and create healthier communities. 0 0 2148159 NET's Urban Forestry Program focuses on expanding the Los Angeles urban tree canopy to help cool down and beautify under resourced communities. NET plants and maintains street trees along neighborhood streets and gives fruit and shade trees to residents. These trees provide not just the emotional health benefits urban green spaces support, they help manage stormwater and reduce urban heat, which in turn decreases energy costs. Through outreach, education and workforce development, NET teaches people how to plant and care for their trees, about the importance and benefits of trees, and how to develop and care for their urban forest. 872321 NET's Parks and Open Space Program designs and builds public parks and green spaces and implements water conservation projects following Nature Based Solutions and Low Impact Development design principles. For example, the installation of bioswales helps water travel on paths so it can penetrate the earth before it runs off to the streets and into storm drains. Schools, agencies, foundations, and the City and County of Los Angeles are among the beneficiaries of NET's work eliminating invasive species, planting drought resistant native plants and trees to restore the habitat, and installing site attributes such as playgrounds, public information signage, landscaping and boulders, sidewalks, and drinking fountains. 278856 Other Programs included land stewardship, management, open space conservation and operating a nursery. 3299336 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 27 0 1 32 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X Joanne Oh 3234418634 570 W Avenue 26 200 Los Angeles CA 90065 Michael Ferraro President 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Cheryl Leutjen Vice President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Gerry Kreger Treasurer 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Ragatz Secretary 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Ashley Atkinson Board Member (end Sept.) 4.00 X 0 0 0 Osvaldo Pena Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Saira Soto Board Member (start Nov.) 4.00 X 0 0 0 Judy Thang Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Chloe Ziegler Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Carlos Moran Executive Director (start Aug.) 50.00 X 55390 0 0 Janet Schulman-Trask Interim Exec.

North East Trees' returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities, generally for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed.
