2012 Timelines: TreePeople History

  • TreePeople launches a research project in partnership with communities in southern California and Australia aimed at sharing best practices in urban rainwater capture and water conservation practices.
  • In 2012, TreePeople takes a research trip to Australia as part of an information and best practices exchange program between government, research and community organizations in Australia and Southern California, aimed at sharing innovations, best practices in urban rainwater capture and water conservation practices. A particular focus is on identifying successes, challenges and lessons learned from Australia’s “Millennium Drought” as a way to help prepare Southern California to develop and implement a sustainable approach to meeting its water needs.
