Climate change is indeed impacting tree care in our area. We’re seeing shifts in pest and disease patterns, increased stress from heat and drought, and more frequent extreme weather events. To adapt, we’re constantly updating our practices. This includes selecting more resilient tree species for new plantings, implementing water-conserving techniques like mulching and efficient irrigation, and using predictive pest management strategies. We’re also focusing more on soil health to improve trees’ resilience. Our team stays current with the latest research on climate adaptation for urban trees, and we’re committed to evolving our practices to ensure the long-term health of Bell Gardens’ urban forest in the face of changing conditions.
