Guest Opinion | Michelle Matthews: Trees Are Not the Problem
Pasadena Unified School District plans to remove 193 mature trees from eleven campuses as part of soil remediation following the Eaton fire. Removals began on June 11, with 16 trees already cut down. Michelle Matthews, a parent whose son attended four schools in the district, argues that the trees are being wrongly treated as the problem.
