LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some people in Los Angeles have worked for years to increase the number of trees that provide shade and respite from heat and air pollution. But the trees were in already trouble before this month’s fires scorched more than 10,000 homes and other structures. Tree lovers faced increasing drought, bad trimming and objections from neighbors who resent leaves and sap. Now the tree advocates wonder what this month’s devastating fires have done to their efforts. But while the blazes are another blow to the region’s resiliency to a hotter world, some experts see it as an opportunity to plant more resilient species.
