Episode Details

Hidden Valley Camp is about to lose two thousand feet of trees and shrubs along its southern border as road construction and a new bike path begin—threatening privacy and security for kids using the camp for archery, zip-lining, and more. But the Friends of Hidden Valley aren’t backing down. They’re rallying the community to replant native species next year, urgently seeking gardeners to start raising seedlings now, since replacing the lost greenery could cost up to $80,000—money the city’s partial compensation won’t cover. This isn’t the first time—they replanted after a similar loss two decades ago, and those very trees are now in the crosshairs again. With a strict native-species policy dating back to the 1950s, they’re building on past success while fundraising through personalized patio bricks. Volunteers and donors are key to restoring this vital green barrier, and the camp’s resilience and neighborly support fuel a hopeful fight to rebuild what’s been lost.
