NBC 4 Los Angeles reports on a USC initiative that partners our experts and students with the City of Los Angeles to guide the growth of an urban forest of shade trees that benefit the health and quality of life for local communities.
More trees, and the shade that they offer, can improve people’s health and well-being. Trees help reduce risks such as heat stroke, heart attacks, and breathing problems caused by air pollution and excessive heat. They can also increase opportunities for everyday exercise by making walking and biking more comfortable. Trees can help build communities, but it’s important to plant the right trees in the right places.
