LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A new blueprint by USC researchers identifies four places best suited to plant shade trees across Los Angeles Eastside to bring cooling relief to thousands of people at risk for heat waves and air pollution in a warming global climate, the university announced today.
In some scenarios, the tree canopy could be doubled across much of El Sereno, Ramona Gardens and parts of Lincoln Heights near USC s Health Sciences Campus, the researchers report. The area is one of the most tree-poor urban landscapes in the city.
Better still, the scientific tools that the USC researchers used have wider application to guide tree-planting efforts in other communities across L.A., according to the university.

Anew blueprint by USC researchers identifies four places best suited to plant shade trees across Los Angeles’ Eastside to bring cooling relief to thousands of people at risk for heat waves and air pollution in a warming global climate.
In some scenarios, the tree canopy could be doubled across much of El Sereno, Ramona Gardens and parts of Lincoln Heights near USC’s Health Sciences Campus, the researchers report. Today, the area is one of the most tree-poor urban landscapes in the city.
However, we are hearing from readers that it s not working this way for everyone.
A spokesperson told us on Feb. 10 that someone from the Ralphs Pharmacy team should reach out to you with a second dose appointment as we get closer to the timeframe for when the second dose should be administered (usually around 4 weeks).
Ralphs guarantees second doses to anyone who got their first shot through the grocery store, according to a spokesperson.
What if the Vaccine Site Is Closed on the Day of My Appointment?
Some sites - like
