5 LABT Urban Forestry LABT has been planting trees since April 1992 and brings science based expertise, technical skills and equipment to the community. Greening Schools Greening and other projects at Public Schools begin with environmental Science education, mentoring of students at all age levels and implementation of projects with the students, parents and teachers. LABT has implemented greening projects at over 140 public schools. School Tree Planting
6 Community Tree Planting LABT is one of the five project partners for the city s Million Trees LA Program.
7 LABT Urban Forestry We plant trees for the MTLA program and Commercial Tree Planting We are Licensed Landscape Contractors and implement commercial greening projects and tree plantings. Our area of responsibility includes Council Districts #2, 4, 6 and parts of 7 & 13. handle Residential Tree Distribution Events.
8 Public Right Of Way Stormwater Capture On site stormwater infiltration is the most cost effective and least intrusive stormwater capture construction. Construction at the source point of stormwater flow diverts stormwater directly into the ground for groundwater recharge. Construction is limited in scope, and comparably inexpensive to stormwater diversion systems that direct the stormwater to other locations. It also mitigates street flooding. LABT implemented the first construction of on site bioswales with new City Standard Plans, and brought in the first City street use of double chamber dry well systems. These double chamber dry well systems are affordable, capture more stormwater, and last decades longer than the dry well systems the City currently uses. LABT created a tree well stormwater capture device system to use tree wells to capture stormwater runoff as it flows down the gutter. Public Works created an additional watering system, and a City Standard Plan so everyone can now implement these tree well systems.
9 LABT Innovation Tree Wells for Storm Water Capture
10 LABT Innovation Tree Wells for Storm Water Capture LABT created a coring system for tree wells to capture storm water runoff from the gutter. Public Works developed the drain pipe system: this resulted in Public Works creating a City Standard Plan for a tree well storm water capture device.

12 LABT Innovation Tree Wells for Storm Water Capture
13 Private Property Stormwater Capture Everyone is responsible for caretaking our environment and participating in stormwater capture. But, participation must be affordable in order for people to participate. LABT created educational workshops to teach the public about our water crisis, and how to participate and build affordable stormwater capture systems for residential and business properties themselves. Methods for stormwater capture and groundwater replenishment include site assessment and construction of rain barrels, rain gardens and other infiltration systems that can by simply implemented.

33 Stormwater Capture On School Campuses LABT has implemented environmental education and project at 140 public school campuses. In recent years these have included stormwater capture systems. Roof and rain gutter stormwater gardens area for groundwater recharge; rain gardens mitigated flooding and diverted stormwater into the ground; rain barrels captured stormwater for reuse in the school gardens. LABT is about to implement a model education program at six schools with LADWP Grant. All the children will learn about our City s water needs, and what is stormwater capture. Then workshops will be held for parents and neighbors with the same curriculum and how to participate workshops. Finally, a small model of a stormwater capture project will be constructed at the school. LABT did a small analysis of LAUSD campuses in the San Fernando Valley. The average campus had over 200,000 square feet of impermeable area where stormwater runoff could be captured for groundwater recharge with small, inexpensive and not intrusive systems.
34 Stonehurst Elementary School Roof & Rain Gutter Storm Water Diversion From City Storm Drains into School Garden Previous Conditions: rain roof gutter all slanted to downspout taking storm water into city street into city storm drain system to the ocean. Retrofit: Capped downspout diverted storm water to new downspout. Storm water Capture:3,500 SF Roof = 31,500 Gallons Runoff Channeled storm garden and opened permeable space.
