Rosa Bautista

Elementary Education Manager


Rosa Bautista found her calling to work with children when she was only a teen growing up in East Los Angeles. She joined TreePeople in 1996 to continue her passion of teaching students about the environment and has since worked with more than 1,800 schools reaching 90,000 plus students. As Elementary Education Manager, she helps to design our popular Eco-tours and oversees a team of educators. She is currently piloting our new Citizen Forester en Espanol program which reaches out to mono-lingual Spanish-speaking communities and supports them in planting trees in their neighborhoods.


Rosa is devoted to her two children, Brittany and Christopher, who are a regular welcoming presence at numerous TreePeople events.
