Windsor Square Canopy is dedicated to the restoration and preservation of the original Windsor Square parkway tree planting design. While Los Angeles city codes no longer recognize certain species as appropriate parkway trees, the species now approved by the Bureau of Street Services for parkway plantings does respect the historic plantings. We hope that Windsor Square Canopy will add to your appreciation of these noteworthy species.
In the 1970s the Windsor Square Tree Committee organized a massive parkway planting of tulip trees along Third Street and South Larchmont. In the years since then no significant parkway tree plantings occurred until 1996 when the Windsor Square Tree Committee was reactivated to address the issues of neglect, dead or dying trees, and the injurious removal of parkway trees by homeowners, who, heedless or unaware of proper street tree designations, would often replace original trees with inappropriate species.
The Windsor Square Tree Committee was renamed Windsor Square Canopy, and in the years since 1996, all parkways fronting the eleven hundred residences of our neighborhood were comprehensively inventoried. Following this inventory, the Windsor Square Master Plan of Parkway Trees was created and hundreds of trees were planted in Canopy’s ongoing effort to restore the parkway forest of Windsor Square. Canopy is dedicated to the protection, care, and planting of parkway trees within Windsor Square.
