Tree Hugging Embraces Annual Spring Equinox

A yearly event on the Santa Monica calendar, Tuesday March 20 saw more than a dozen tree huggers unite at the Children’s Tree of Life in Palisades Park to welcome in the new season. Undeterred by a few drops of rain, the ensemble celebrated all things green in the spirit of spring renewal.
