USC experts say tree planting could double shade across L.A.\u2019s Eastside<\/h1>\n\n\n

University scientists, working with the city of Los Angeles, have developed a plan to grow an urban forest in communities vulnerable to heat waves and air pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\u00a0new blueprint<\/a>\u00a0by USC researchers identifies four places best suited to plant shade trees across Los Angeles\u2019 Eastside to bring cooling relief to thousands of people at risk for\u00a0heat waves\u00a0and air pollution in a warming global climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some scenarios, the tree canopy could be doubled across much of El Sereno, Ramona Gardens and parts of Lincoln Heights near USC\u2019s Health Sciences Campus, the researchers report. Today, the area is one of the most tree-poor urban landscapes in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
