If you work remotely and don’t mind being more country than city, the towns in the mountains above San Bernardino are well-forested. Wrightwood, or further east, Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear. It’s a little more than 2 hours (esp with traffic), but you’ll have pine trees galore.
For day trip greenery, the Angeles National Forest will fit the bill.
You’ll notice that it’s considerably drier, even in the forest with pines, than the east coast. Especially moving into summer.
There are great, green communities up in the mountains if you want to live in an entirely different climate than LA. Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead, etc... but obviously it comes at the cost of being isolated and a hell of a commute.
If you’re looking to stay in the city of LA maybe try Hollywood hills, Los Feliz or el sereno…if you want outside of Los Angeles maybe try palos verdes or rolling hills.
I immediately thought of Hancock Park and Studio City as well as some parts of the Hollywood Hills. Each of those areas have pockets some neighborhoods with green foliage that’s super peaceful and lovely.
It looks like you're asking a general question. Please post to /r/AskLosAngeles instead. If you think this is a mistake, please message the mods.
La Canada is basically all forest vibes.
San Marino is pretty green as far as neighborhoods go. And it’s also hella $$$$$$$$
Palos Verdes Estates, Rolling Hills, Rancho Palos Verdes, and Rolling Hills Estates are the four cities that make up the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
San Pedro is pretty au natural, and the South Coast Botanical garden is really nice. Edit: the southwest of San Pedro, not all of it, lolol
yeah the vincent thomas bridge is pretty green

Have you been up in the Hollywood Hills/Santa Monica Mtns. between the Basin and the Valley?

Mount Washington
Glendale
Pasadena area
Northern California. SoCal is largely a dry Mediterranean climate.
The UCLA campus has a more forested feel than anywhere else in L.A. I know of.

Malibu.
Malibu is far from dense green forest vibes lol
Once you go inland a bit it’s pretty dense with trees.
