This non-profit group plants and cares for native and exotic trees, and the environment. The centre is located in the idyllic 45-acre Coldwater Canyon Park, a welcome break from the urban sprawl. Each summer, the scenic grounds host a lively, open-air fundraising series dubbed "Once Upon a Canyon Night," which features a diverse range of live performances (concerts, stand-up comedy, theater—you name it) at the property's S. Mark Taper Foundation Amphitheater.
