Fire recovery in LA's communities and wildlands will be a long road. But it's comforting to remember our resilient native plants, which have evolved incredible adaptations for dealing with fire. In fact, some grow even better after the ashes settle. treepeople.org/2025/01/31/fir…

Thank you to the leaders who met with our Director of Policy Initiatives and Sr Director of Strategy and Impact, including @CarolineMenjiv3! Thanks also to @CAL_FIRE f and @CalNatResource for their leadership in building a more climate resilient CA.

We’re already experiencing the real-world impacts of climate change, and it’s critical to prepare our communities for the future NOW. This month we met with 20 CA reps to build support for our work in wildfire prevention, urban forestry, outdoor equity & school greening.
