The wildfires that ravaged Los Angeles a year ago were among the worst in California's history. They were exacerbated by persistent drought, a buildup of vegetation and Santa Ana winds which, at times, exceeded 80 mph. The most damaging fires, which reduced Altadena and Pacific Palisades to ashes, were finally extinguished on January 31, 2025.

When wildfires began racing through the Los Angeles area on Jan. 7, 2025, the scope of the disaster caught residents by surprise. Forecasters had warned about high winds and exceptionally dry conditions, but few people expected to see smoke and fires for weeks in one of America's largest metro areas.

#California: ‘Seeking seed donations': The #Altadena #SeedLibrary looks ahead to #regrowth
Story by Alysia Gray Painter, January 13, 2025
"Following the Jan. 7 fire that swept through the city, growers and gardening groups are beginning to think about what is next, groups that include the Altadena Seed Library.
"This community is enormously dedicated to native plants, but also had many farmers and growers who lost generations of crops at community gardens and in backyards.
"#Wildlife coming down from the foothills has lost habitat and food. the air quality will be poor and temperatures will be higher without the lush greenery that protected us. not to mention the vast natural spaces that have burned and may benefit from help #reseeding.
"If you have seeds to spare — particularly native plants — please send a message. please share widely.
"Monetary donations are also requested, if you are able to donate.
"Seeds may be sent to 37 Auburn Ave. #8, Sierra Madre, CA 91024 c/o Altadena Seed Library."

"By criminalizing fire, Spanish authorities effectively criminalized forms of #IndigenousKnowledge—like the cultivation of certain plants and management of #ecosystems—that relied on #controlledBurning. This put #Indigenous people in an impossible situation. Those who persisted with burning risked arrest and forced labor."

"The mid-twentieth-century dream that #LosAngeles is America’s Eden, celebrated by Reyner Banham as he tooled around its freeways, has been superseded by the dark reality envisioned by Mike Davis, who foretold with uncanny accuracy what the other side of paradise would be like."
