How is A Forest for the Trees keeping sustainability in mind?

The wood and trees used in A Forest for the Trees were sustainably salvaged from logging depots in California by West Coast Arborists and Angel City Lumber. Additionally, the gift shop and culinary experience are rooted in sustainable practices. A focal point within the show is the symbolic resurrection of an iconic 144-year-old tree from nearby Olvera Street felled by a recent storm, which, along with other trees from the Los Angeles area, was sourced with the assistance of Angel City Lumber, whose mission is to reconnect Angelenos with nature by producing wood products from the trees they have lived with in their neighborhoods.

Conservation International, a leading global conservation nonprofit and 501(c)(3), will plant a tree for every ticket sold as part of Mastercard’s Priceless Planet Coalition, giving people an opportunity to contribute to preserving the planet through reforestation.
