NET helps heal environmental injustice by focusing on under invested communities throughout Los Angeles. With government, corporate, and private funding, NET has planted over 100,000 trees and designed and built almost 50 parks and projects, trained and employed hundreds of frontline environmental workers from the communities it serves, and created natural green schoolyards for over 20 school communities. 0 0 1026697 71447 NET's Parks and Open Space Program designs and builds public parks and green spaces and implements water conservation projects following LID (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. 707398 72212 NET's Urban Forestry Program focuses on expanding the Los Angeles urban tree canopy to help cool down and beautify under resourced communities. Working with partners and funders such as City Plants and SoCal Gas, 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. And, through outreach and education, 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. 76284 90991 Other Programs included serving as the designer for Inell Woods Park, a 'pocket park' in South Los Angeles' Green Meadows Neighborhood, a project funded by Heal the Bay for the city of Los Angeles, and, using both corporate and private funding designated for planting trees, to purchase trees. 1810379 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA X Yarnell Smith 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 John Acevedo Board Member (end Jan.) 4.00 X 0 0 0 Maija Jeremic Board Member (end Jan.) 4.00 X 0 0 0 Clare Marter Kenyon Member at Large 4.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Nakahiro Board Member (end Jan.) 4.00 X 0 0 0 Natasha Oiye Board Member (end Jan.) 4.00 X 0 0 0 Judy Thang Board Member (start April) 4.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Kenyon Executive Director (end Dec.) 57.00 X 90000 0 0 Janet Schulman Interim Exec.
