• South Pasadena Wildfire Resilience Strategy (southpasadenan.com) — South Pasadena is launching a phased tree-trimming program in Monterey Hills this fall to reduce wildfire risk and keep evacuation routes clear. City crews will focus on City-owned trees and rights-of-way, with temporary parking impacts and schedules posted online. Residents are urged to create defensible space at home by clearing vegetation and trimming their own trees.
