Tree People

Yesterday I volunteered with my Chi Omega sisters and with Theta Xi fraternity for the organization Tree People. It was a beautiful day in Malibu and it was great getting to spend some time in nature. We had an excellent nature guide who told us about how so much of the Los Angeles county mountains are being destroyed- both for natural reasons and because of human interactions. There have been a lot of new oak trees that they have planted though to help combat this problem- unfortunately the weeds have tried to ruin the progress. It was our job to remove the "ripgut" as it's called and I think we made a considerable difference! It was great getting to spend time with my sisters and meet some of the guys in Theta Xi. It's nice to get away from the big city sometimes!
