LOCAL STORY
Tree Planting in SoCal Connects Community with Environment
(Los Angeles, CA)- Years ago, as a 15-year-old camper in the San  
Bernardino Mountains, he'd noticed pine trees ravaged by smog and fire  
and had mobilized friends to plant a smog-tolerant variety in their  
place. A lifelong mission was born. As the president of TreePeople, a  
nonprofit organization he founded in 1973, Lipkis, now 54, has  
inspired hundreds of thousands of volunteers to plant more than two  
million trees throughout Southern California.
