Help Now!!!
With a population of 1,000 residents, CVC is home to more than 400 children who are exposed to air pollution from the surrounding ports (Long Beach and Los Angeles), refineries, freeways, and railyards. Over the years, CVC has sought to address this reality through various health initiatives, including a
partnership with the UCLA Breathmobile which provides periodic campus visits to help educate, diagnose, and treat those suffering from respiratory health issues.
Our latest and most ambitious effort is to
plant close to 200 new trees that will protect and beautify the campus. This landscape barrier will serve as a natural buffer and will help remove particulate matter from the air. Landscape barriers have proven to be effective at improving air quality, especially when developed close to the pollutant source.
We need your help to raise
$40,000, the remaining cost of this critical project!
Every dollar raised through the Adopt-A-Tree program will go directly into the landscape barrier and help to improve outdoor air quality for hundreds of children and residents, both current and future. Please know that your support will be leveraged by other resources that we have raised, including a grant from the Port of Long Beach, support from the City of Long Beach and some corporate support. However, we still have work to do! CVC has committed to the long term maintenance and care of these trees and plans to break ground on the barrier in the Spring of this year.
