• Extreme heat is fueling a countywide push for more trees and shade in Palm Beach County (wflx.com) — Belle Glade is part of a stalled but still active push to plant more trees and add shade structures across the Glades, after a major federal grant was cut. County parks, nonprofits, and cities are scrambling to restore canopy in South Bay, Belle Glade, Pahokee, and Canal Point to combat dangerous summer heat and make outdoor spaces more livable.
