Stories of Hope, Help, and Healing from the L.A. Fires
After wildfire strips a neighborhood bare, what helps people heal, and what helps a community breathe again? In this moving episode of LA Rising, host Kim Marshall explores the deep connection between recovery and the urban forest with sustainable landscape architect David Card of the Palisades Forestry Committee and biophilia expert Jennifer Walsh.
Together, they reveal why trees are far more than scenery: they cool our homes, calm our nervous systems, protect communities, and help restore hope after loss. From the fight to save surviving trees in Pacific Palisades to the science behind why even 40 seconds of looking at nature can ease stress, this conversation is both practical and deeply restorative.
Listen in for a powerful reminder that rebuilding is not only about structures, but also about replanting beauty, resilience, and belonging, one tree and one neighborhood at a time. Then share this episode, support local replanting and recovery efforts, and be part of bringing the green back to Los Angeles.
