Endangered California Trees May Get Reprieve — With a Drink of Water
Published on: December 08, 2016
ALTADENA, CALIF. — When we recently wrote that over 70 million trees in California forests died mostly due to drought, just days later the number grew to over 100 million, then 102 million. The drought is also threatening to take its toll on a wonderful 96-year tradition at the National Historic Christmas Tree Lane in Altadena where a tree lighting ceremony takes place on Sat. Dec.10, 2016.
A new county irrigation system installed by local volunteers feeds the trees much needed drinks of water. It’s giving these deodar cedars a fighting chance and letting the public enjoy another year of their beauty and grace during the holidays.
