LOS ANGELES – Today, Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), the LA Kings, and the LA Conservation Corps joined forces with volunteers, community leaders, and elected officials to revitalize a stretch of South Los Angeles between 54th Street and Slauson Avenue. The collaborative effort included planting more than 20 fire-resistant trees, enhancing sidewalk gardens, which will improve air quality and beautify the neighborhood.

The event brought together over 55 volunteers, including employees from SoCalGas and LA Kings and Corpsmembers, who worked side-by-side to create a greener future for South Los Angeles.

“This event is a testament to the power of collaboration and community,” said Andy Carrasco, vice president of communications and regional stakeholder engagement at SoCalGas. “By planting fire-resistant trees, we’re not only investing in the environment but also in the health and safety of our neighborhoods.”

The LA Kings, recognized for their commitment to sustainability and community outreach, joined the effort with team representatives and volunteers.

“We’re proud to stand alongside SoCalGas and the LA Conservation Corps in making a tangible impact,” said Amanda Apel, senior director of social impact at the LA Kings. “This initiative reflects our dedication to environmental responsibility and the communities we serve.”

The LA Conservation Corps, a nonprofit organization that provides job training, education, and leadership development to young adults through environmental service projects, played a central role in organizing and executing the event. “Our Corpsmembers were thrilled to work alongside volunteers and collaborators to make South Los Angeles greener,” said Wendy Butts, CEO of the LA Conservation Corps. “These trees will provide shade, improve air quality, and serve as a lasting symbol of community collaboration.”

“This tree planting event is a powerful example of what can happen when public, private, and nonprofit sectors come together for the good of our communities,” said Marqueece Harris-Dawson, LA City Council President. “These trees will not only improve air quality and provide shade, but they also represent our shared commitment to a healthier future for South Los Angeles.”

SoCalGas is committed to making a positive difference in the communities it serves. In 2024, SoCalGas employees volunteered more than 24,000 hours with local organizations which reflects the company’s mission to serve communities and create a lasting positive impact.
