Scenic America stands in solidarity with the City of Los Angeles and communities of Southern California as they face the devastating wildfires that continue to ravage the region. Our hearts break for the individuals, families, businesses, and neighborhoods impacted by these catastrophic events.

Over the past few years, our work in Los Angeles County has been among the most meaningful and impactful efforts in our organization’s history. We have had the privilege of collaborating with local leaders, advocates, and residents who share our passion for preserving and enhancing the beauty of this extraordinary region. Seeing these same communities torn apart by nature’s fury is devastating, and we cannot imagine the pain being felt across the region.

As Southern California faces unimaginable challenges, we remain committed to supporting long-term solutions to safeguard these cherished landscapes for generations to come. Scenic America will continue to advocate for solutions—utility undergrounding, urban forestry, and community development strategies that promote sustainability and climate resiliency—that help mitigate the risks and impacts of future wildfires.

To the resilient communities of Los Angeles, Southern California, and beyond: we are with you, and we will continue to champion your cause. You are in our thoughts as you navigate this difficult time.
