Lauri Carlton, was shot and killed on Friday for flying a flag in support of the LGBQT+ community.

In 2018 she hosted an event at her store in Studio City to raise awareness about the benefits of trees and the loss of the tree canopy in Los Angeles. She highlighted Angelenos for Trees advocacy and generously shared the proceeds from the evening with us. It was our first public facing event and we will always be deeply grateful to her.

She was brave, had a strong moral compass, and was deeply committed to making the world a better place.

We encourage everyone to save a tree or plant a tree in her memory.
