Clarins and Malibu Foundation Join Forces for ‘Replant Love 2023,’ Planting the First Micro-Forest in the Santa Monica Mountains

Prestige French beauty brand Clarins, in partnership with The Malibu Foundation, joined forces again for the fourth annual community Replant Love event with the mission to plant the first micro forest in the Santa Monica Mountains to restore the local biodiversity lost in the Woosley Fire in 2018. Supported by California Climate Action Corps, more than 150 volunteers planted at De Anza Park to reach the Clarins x Malibu Foundation’s goal.

With already over 21,000 trees planted over the four years (a record in the Santa Monica Mountains), this year’s edition pushes the sustainability vision with a micro forest inspired by the Miyawaki method, which mimics nature, increasing survivability, cooperation, and competition, leading to faster growing plants, increased biodiversity, and less dependence on water. The micro forest planted included a total of 500 curated, new plants and is the second in Los Angeles County. It also serves as a seed bank, leading to additional local micro forests to be planted, including three funded by Clarins.

Benefits of a micro forest: 

  • Remediate soil
  • Conserve water
  • Improved carbon sequestration
  • Increased biodiversity, including native insects and animals moving back into the forest
  • Supports the food web, from providing appropriate food for native species
  • Becomes self-managing after 2 years
  • Provides shade and reduces heat in the area
  • Refuge for wildlife

Replant Love has built an engaged community over the past four years, including many influential voices, who season after season help spread the word —including friend of the foundation Orlando Bloom, and locally based personalities Indy SrinathParis BrosnanDaniela Lawson OsorioTalia JacksonArmani JacksonHolly RamsayJenny WatwoodMariama DialloAlex Lee AillonAri Fournier, and Renee Murden.

Ignited on November 8, 2018, the Woolsey Fire destroyed 88% of the Santa Monica Mountains, impacting nearly 97,000 acres, and devastated the cities and towns in the region, including Calabasas. Since then, the area became overrun with over 300 non-native, highly flammable, invasive plant species that are pushing out native vegetation.

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
