How a $500,000 Grant Brings 250 Trees to Cool Koreatown
Koreatown is getting much-needed shade as a new green project takes root. Backed by a $500,000 state grant from Assemblymember Mark González, crews are planting 250 trees across Koreatown and Mid City to beat the heat.
A thick tree canopy can drop ground temperatures by up to 30 degrees. This cooling effect protects residents from dangerous heat waves and makes neighborhood streets safer and more walkable.
This launch is only the start of a much bigger goal. Organizers plan to plant over 1,000 trees, creating cool, shaded sidewalks where neighbors can stroll safely and take pride in their community.
