West Oakland is getting 1,500 new trees—but who will care for them? After decades of neglect due to cuts to city tree services, residents and local nonprofits are stepping in to fill the gap.

What’s a tree worth? Bemidji area lost some 9 million trees, but doesn’t qualify for FEMA relief.

Reforestation efforts are underway and a campaign to promote tourism as the area recovers from June storm.

As for Massachusetts, it's hard to feel hopeful when our governor is happy to collaborate with terrorists, but I want to share about the Mass Ready Act in case you haven't heard about it:

Some meaningful investments, perhaps.

🌳🎰 Ah, the genius solution to Vegas's sizzling heat: more trees! Because nothing screams innovation like turning the desert into a forest. 🙄 Apparently, climate change is no match for a few saplings and a sprinkle of wishful thinking. 🌵🌞
