Tree shade has proven to help reduce hot temperatures, but many neighborhoods in San Diego have a noticeable shortage of trees. That changed on Wednesday for one neighborhood in Vista.
Tree shade has proven to help reduce hot temperatures, but many neighborhoods in San Diego have a noticeable shortage of trees.
Funding for the new trees came from a $1.253 million Cal Fire grant. The agency's Urban and Community Forestry’s Urban Forest Expansion and Improvement program plans to plant 2,000 trees throughout San Diego County, including 200 trees throughout the city of Vista. "This area in Vista desperately needs trees," Vista City Councilmember Corinna Contreras said."We're going through a heat wave, moving forward, it's only gonna get hotter, and what trees do, not only do they provide a beautiful scene for everybody to enjoy, but they provide shade."
"Everywhere in the city, there’s pavement, concrete, asphalt, very few impervious surfaces — that heat radiates up. When it's 100 degrees and we have no trees, it actually feels hotter," she said."So being able to plant more trees where people congregate and enjoy the park under the shade is extremely important."
