Hey Rancho Park Residents: The City of Los Angeles Wants to Plant You a Tree for Free

If you've been thinking about planting a tree in front of your house, now is the time. Rancho Park area streets have been identified as potential sites for planting free street trees under a new grant-funded program to mitigate the impacts of pollution from cars.
