About Us
We're growing a Tiny Forest in the Desert.
For Every Star, A Tree heals desertified Earth...one square foot at a time.
Our Mission
We believe in Earthcare.
For Every Star, A Tree is on a mission to cultivate desertified Earth into healthy soil, green space, and canopy.
Our goal is to help people with climate anxiety reconnect with nature. We steward land together with an open, positive, and joyful spirit...all while being of service to the global, greater good of the planet.
Our Vision
We call ourselves Earthworkers.
We believe in a world where providing opportunities for our community to reconnect with nature can lead to a healthier future.
Our vision is to cultivate a constellation of Tiny Forests in the Desert: "for every star, a tree." We do this by planting butterfly gardens, hosting community nature events, teaching nature-based STEM classes, and offering free Earthcare workshops in the heart of Los Angeles' desert and throughout Southern California.
This Work Belongs to All of Us
Whether you are a teacher looking for enrichment, a funder seeking impact, or a volunteer who wants to get their hands in the soil... there is a place for you here.
Our History
How a small seed of faith blossomed into a movement.
For Every Star, A Tree started as an artistic inquiry: can a tree grow in the desert? (2020).
It soon morphed into a grassroots movement, which we called a climate love-letter to future generations (2023).
We've since evolved into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and registered farm that not only heals desertified Earth, but also invites anyone experiencing climate anxiety or doomerism to join us as an Earthworker and make a positive difference.
What We Believe
Our Values
Earthcare First
We believe in caring for the Earth before all else. Every action we take is in service of healing the land for generations we will never meet.
Device-Free & Substance-Free
Our events are device-free and substance-free, allowing genuine connection to flourish.
Regenerative Growth
We transform desertified dirt into healthy soil, low biodiversity into thriving ecosystems, and remote isolation into community belonging.
Wonder & Gratitude
We gaze in awe at campfires and wonder at the stars. We cultivate gratitude for the planet, pollinators, and people that work together to sustain us all.
