Pehea e hoʻokaʻawale ai ka nahele kūlanakauhale o Sacramento i ke kūlanakauhale, i ke olakino a me ka waiwai

NA MICHAEL FINCH II
10 ʻOkakopa, 2019 05:30 AM,

He mea kupanaha ka uhi laau o Land Park ma ka nui o na ana. E like me ka lei aliʻi, ʻo nā lāʻau mokulele ʻo Lākana a me nā lāʻau ʻulaʻula i kekahi manawa e piʻi maikaʻi ma luna o nā hale e hoʻolulu i nā alanui a me nā hale i mālama pono ʻia i ke kauwela wela o Sacramento.

Hiki ke loaʻa nā lāʻau ʻoi aku ma Land Park ma mua o nā wahi ʻē aʻe. A hāʻawi ia i nā pōmaikaʻi i ʻike ʻia a ʻike ʻole ʻia e ka maka ʻole - ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke olakino, no hoʻokahi, a me ka maikaʻi o ke ola.

Akā ʻaʻole nui nā Pāka ʻāina ma Sacramento. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, aia wale nō ma kahi o hoʻokahi haneli mau kaiāulu i loaʻa nā canopies lāʻau e kokoke ana i ke kaiāulu hema o ke kaona, e like me ka loiloi o ke kūlanakauhale.

Wahi a ka poʻe hoʻohewa ʻo ka laina e hoʻokaʻawale i kēlā mau wahi e iho pinepine i ka waiwai.

ʻO nā kaiāulu me ka helu o nā kumu lāʻau ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka awelika, ʻo ia nā wahi e like me Land Park, East Sacramento a me ka Pocket pū kekahi i ka nui o ka nui o nā ʻohana loaʻa kālā. I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā kumulāʻau a me nā wahi liʻiliʻi e like me Meadowview, Del Paso Heights, Parkway a me Valley Hi.

Uhi nā lāʻau ma kahi o 20 pakeneka o 100 mau mile square o ke kūlanakauhale. Ma Land Park, no ka laʻana, uhi ka canopy i ka 43 pakeneka - ʻoi aku ma mua o ka pālua o ka awelika o ke kūlanakauhale. I kēia manawa e hoʻohālikelike me ka 12 pākēneka o ka uhi ʻana o ka lāʻau i loaʻa ma Meadowview ma Sacramento hema.

No ka nui o nā ululāʻau kūlanakauhale a me nā mea hoʻolālā kūlanakauhale, pilikia ia ʻaʻole wale no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahi i kanu ʻia i nā wela wela akā no ka pili ʻana o nā alanui lāʻau i ke olakino maikaʻi. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā lāʻau e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka maikaʻi o ka ea, e hāʻawi ana i ka haʻahaʻa o ka hānō a me ka momona, ua ʻike ʻia nā haʻawina. A hiki iā lākou ke hoʻēmi i nā hopena koʻikoʻi o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau i ka wā e hiki mai ana e ʻoi aku ka wela a me ka maloʻo o nā lā.

Eia naʻe kekahi o nā ʻano like ʻole o Sacramento, wahi a kekahi. ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia ke kaulike ʻole. Wahi a ka poʻe kākoʻo, he manawa kūpono ko ke kūlanakauhale e kamaʻilio ai i nā makahiki o ke kanu lāʻau lax i ka wā e aʻo ai i kahi hoʻolālā kumu ulu ulu lāʻau kūlanakauhale i kēia makahiki aʻe.

Akā hopohopo kekahi e haʻalele hou kēia mau kaiāulu.

"Aia kekahi manawa makemake ʻole e ʻike i nā mea no ka mea e hana ʻia ana ma kahi kaiāulu ʻē aʻe," wahi a Cindy Blain, ka luna hoʻokele o ka nonprofit California ReLeaf, nāna e kanu i nā kumulāʻau a puni ka mokuʻāina. Ua hele ʻo ia i kahi hālāwai lehulehu ma mua o kēia makahiki i mālama ʻia e ke kūlanakauhale e kūkākūkā i ka hoʻolālā haku hou a hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia ʻaʻohe kikoʻī e pili ana i ka pilikia o ka "equity."

"ʻAʻole he nui ma laila e pili ana i ka pane o ke kūlanakauhale," wahi a Blain. "Ke nānā nei ʻoe i kēia mau helu ʻokoʻa - e like me 30 pakeneka o nā ʻokoʻa - a ʻaʻohe manaʻo o ka wikiwiki."

Ua manaʻo ʻia ka City Council e hoʻokō i ka hoʻolālā ma ka pūnāwai 2019, e like me ka pūnaewele o ke kūlanakauhale. Akā ua ʻōlelo nā luna ʻaʻole e hoʻopau ʻia a hiki i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki aʻe. I kēia manawa, ʻōlelo ke kūlanakauhale e hoʻomohala ana i nā pahuhopu canopy e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻāina i kēlā me kēia kaiāulu.

Ke piʻi nei ka hoʻololi ʻana o ke aniau i nā mea nui o ke kūlanakauhale, ua huli kekahi mau kūlanakauhale nui a puni ka ʻāina i nā kumulāʻau ma ke ʻano he hopena.

Ma Dallas, ua kākau nā luna no ka manawa mua i nā wahi i ʻoi aku ka wela ma mua o ko lākou mau kaiāulu a pehea e hiki ai i nā lāʻau ke kōkua i ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. Ma mua o kēia makahiki, ua hoʻohiki ʻo Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti e kanu i kekahi mau lāʻau 90,000 i nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana. ʻO ka hoʻolālā ʻana o ke kiaʻāina me ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki e pāpālua i ka canopy ma nā wahi "haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, wela loa".

Ua ʻae ʻo Kevin Hocker, ka mea mālama ulu lāʻau o ke kūlanakauhale, aia ka ʻokoʻa. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke kūlanakauhale a me nā mea kākoʻo lāʻau kūloko i ke ʻano e hoʻoponopono ai kēlā me kēia. Manaʻo ʻo Hocker hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana i nā papahana i loaʻa akā makemake ka poʻe kākoʻo i ka hana radical ʻoi aku. Eia naʻe, hoʻokahi manaʻo i kaʻana like ʻia ma waena o nā kahua hoʻomoana ʻelua: He mea pono nā kumulāʻau akā pono lākou i ke kālā a me ka hoʻolaʻa e mālama iā lākou i ke ola.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Hocker ʻaʻole ʻo ia i manaʻo e like me ka "wehewehe maikaʻi ʻana o ka pilikia."

"Ua hoʻomaopopo ka poʻe a pau aia ka mahele like ʻole ma ke kūlanakauhale. Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole i wehewehe maopopo kekahi i ke kumu o ia mea a me nā hana e hiki ai ke hoʻoponopono i kēlā, "wahi a Hocker. "ʻIke mākou ma ka laulā hiki iā mākou ke kanu i nā kumulāʻau hou aʻe akā ma kekahi mau wahi o ke kaona - ma muli o kā lākou hoʻolālā ʻana a i ʻole ke ʻano o kā lākou hoʻonohonoho ʻana - ʻaʻole loaʻa nā manawa e kanu i nā kumulāʻau."

'Loa'a a 'A'ole.
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka nui o nā kaiāulu kahiko o Sacramento ma waho o ke kaona. ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻumi makahiki ma hope o ke Kaua Honua II i lawe mai i kahi nalu hou o ka hoʻomohala ʻana a hiki i ka piha ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale me nā ʻāpana hou i ka piʻi ʻana o ka heluna kanaka.

No kekahi manawa, ʻaʻohe kumu lāʻau i nā wahi i kūkulu ʻia. ʻAʻole hiki i ka makahiki 1960 i ka wā i hoʻoholo ai ke kūlanakauhale i ke kānāwai mua e koi ana i ke kanu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau ma nā māhele hou. A laila ua hoʻopiʻi kālā ʻia nā kūlanakauhale e ka Manaʻo 13, kahi hana i ʻae ʻia e ka poʻe koho pāloka i ka makahiki 1979 i kaupalena ʻia nā kālā ʻauhau waiwai i hoʻohana mua ʻia no nā lawelawe aupuni.

ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua haʻalele ke kūlanakauhale mai ka lawelawe ʻana i nā kumulāʻau ma mua o nā pā hale a ua neʻe ke kaumaha i kēlā me kēia kaiāulu no ka mālama ʻana. No laila, i ka make ʻana o nā kumulāʻau, e like me ka mea maʻamau, mai nā maʻi, nā ʻōpala a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻelemakule, he kakaikahi paha ka poʻe i ʻike a loaʻa paha ke ala e hoʻololi ai.

Ke hoʻomau nei ke ʻano like i kēia lā.

"He kūlanakauhale ʻo Sacramento no nā waiwai a me nā mea ʻole," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Kate Riley, e noho ana ma ke kahawai ʻo River Park. “Inā ʻoe e nānā i nā palapala ʻāina, ʻo mākou kekahi o nā mea waiwai. He kaiāulu mākou me nā lāʻau.

Uhi nā lāʻau ma kahi o 36 pakeneka o River Park a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka loaʻa kālā o ka home ma mua o ka median no ka ʻāina. Ua kūkulu mua ʻia ma kahi o ʻehiku mau makahiki i hala aku nei ma ka muliwai ʻAmelika.

Ua ʻae ʻo Riley ʻaʻole mālama maikaʻi ʻia kekahi a make kekahi i ka wā ʻelemakule, ʻo ia ke kumu i hāʻawi manawaleʻa ai ʻo ia e kanu i nā kumulāʻau ʻoi aku ma mua o 100 mai ka makahiki 2014. ʻO ka mālama ʻana i nā kumulāʻau he hana koʻikoʻi a pipiʻi hoʻi no nā "wahi ʻole" e hana wale ai, wahi āna.

"Ke hoʻonui nei ka nui o nā pilikia ʻōnaehana i kēia pilikia me ka pono ʻole o ka uhi ʻana o nā kumulāʻau," wahi a Riley, ka mea e noho nei ma ke komite aʻoaʻo kumu hoʻolālā kumulāʻau o ke kūlanakauhale. "He kumu hoʻohālike ʻē aʻe kēia o ka pono o ke kūlanakauhale e hoʻonui i kāna pāʻani a hoʻolilo i kēia kūlanakauhale i loaʻa nā manawa kūpono no kēlā me kēia kanaka."

No ka hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi ʻana i ka pilikia, ua hana ʻo The Bee i kahi hoʻonohonoho ʻikepili mai kahi loiloi hou o nā koho canopy pae o ke kaiāulu a hoʻohui ʻia me ka ʻikepili demographic mai ka US Census Bureau. Ua hōʻiliʻili pū mākou i ka ʻikepili lehulehu e pili ana i ka nui o nā lāʻau i mālama ʻia e ke kūlanakauhale a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i kēlā me kēia kaiāulu.

I kekahi mau hihia, ʻokoʻa ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o kahi e like me River Park a me Del Paso Heights, kahi kaiāulu ma ka ʻākau ʻo Sacramento e pili ana iā Interstate 80. ʻO ke kumu lāʻau ma kahi o 16 pakeneka a ʻo ka hapa nui o ka loaʻa kālā o ka home e hāʻule ma lalo o $75,000.

ʻO ia kekahi o nā kumu i kanu ai ʻo Fatima Malik i mau haneli mau lāʻau ma nā paka i loko a ma kahi o Del Paso Heights. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ma hope o ke komo ʻana i nā paka o ke kūlanakauhale a me ke komisina hoʻonui kaiāulu, ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Malik i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻia ʻana ma kahi hālāwai kaiāulu e pili ana i ke kūlana o nā kumulāʻau o kahi paka.

E make ana nā lāʻau a me he mea lā ʻaʻohe manaʻo no ke kūlanakauhale e pani iā ​​​​lākou. Ua makemake nā kama'āina e ʻike i kāna mea e hana ai no ia mea. E like me ka ʻōlelo a Malik, ua hoʻokūkū ʻo ia i ka lumi ma ka nīnau ʻana i ka mea a "mākou" e hana ai e pili ana i ka paka.

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka Del Paso Heights Growers 'Alliance mai ia hālāwai. Ma ka hopena o ka makahiki, e hoʻopau ka hui i ka hana mai kāna hāʻawi lua i ke kanu ʻana ma mua o 300 mau kumulāʻau ma ʻelima mau paka kūlanakauhale a me kahi māla kaiāulu.

ʻOiai, ua ʻae ʻo Malik he "lanakila maʻalahi" nā papahana paka no ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kumulāʻau i nā kaiāulu. ʻO ke kanu ʻana ia mau mea "he pāʻani kinipōpō ʻē aʻe" e koi ai i ka hoʻokomo a me nā kumuwaiwai hou aʻe mai ke kūlanakauhale, wahi āna.

E loaʻa paha i ke kaiāulu kekahi nīnau ākea.

"ʻIke maopopo mākou ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia ka Apana 2 i ka wā kahiko a i ʻole i hana ʻia i mea nui e like me ka mea e pono ai," wahi a Malik. "ʻAʻole mākou e kuhikuhi ana i nā manamana lima a i ʻole ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i kekahi akā hāʻawi ʻia i nā ʻoiaʻiʻo e kū nei mākou makemake mākou e hui pū me ke kūlanakauhale e kōkua iā lākou e hana maikaʻi i kā lākou hana."

LAAU: HE MANAO OLA HOU
ʻOi aku paha ka pilikia no nā kaiāulu lāʻau ʻole ma mua o ka pau ʻana o ka wela. Ke piʻi nei nā hōʻike no nā makahiki e pili ana i nā pōmaikaʻi kumu i hāʻawi ʻia e kahi canopy puʻuwai i ke olakino pilikino.

Ua lohe mua ʻo Ray Tretheway, ka luna hoʻokele o ka Sacramento Tree Foundation, i kēia manaʻo ma kahi hālāwai kūkā i ka wā i haʻi aku ai kahi mea haʻiʻōlelo: ʻo ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka ululāʻau kūlanakauhale ke olakino lehulehu.

Ua kanu ka haʻiʻōlelo i kahi hua a i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua kōkua ka Tree Foundation i ke aʻo ʻana o ke Kalana ʻo Sacramento. ʻAʻole like me ka noiʻi mua, nāna i nānā i nā wahi ʻōmaʻomaʻo, me nā paka, aia wale nō ka nānā ʻana i ke kumu lāʻau a inā paha he hopena i nā hopena olakino.

Ua ʻike lākou ʻoi aku ka nui o ka uhi lāʻau e pili ana i ke olakino maikaʻi aʻe a ua hoʻohuli ʻia i kahi pae liʻiliʻi, ke koko, ka maʻi diabetes a me ka hānō, e like me ka noiʻi 2016 i paʻi ʻia ma ka puke pai Health & Place.

"He mea wehe maka," wahi a Tretheway. "Ua noʻonoʻo hou mākou a hoʻoponopono hou i kā mākou papahana e hahai i kēia ʻike hou."

ʻO ka haʻawina mua i aʻo ʻia ʻo ka hoʻonohonoho mua ʻana i nā wahi kokoke loa, wahi āna. Paʻakikī pinepine lākou me nā wao nahele meaʻai, nele i nā hana, nā kula maikaʻi ʻole a me ka lawa ʻole o ka halihali.

"Akaka loa nā ʻokoʻa ma Sacramento a ma ka ʻāina," wahi a Tretheway.

"Inā noho ʻoe ma kahi wahi haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a i ʻole nā ​​​​kumu waiwai, ʻaʻole ʻoe e loaʻa i ka nui o nā kumu lāʻau e hoʻololi nui i ka maikaʻi o ke ola a i ʻole ke olakino o kou kaiāulu."

Manaʻo ʻo Tretheway e pono ke kanu ʻia ma kahi o 200,000 mau kumulāʻau alanui i nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana e hiki i ka helu like o nā kumulāʻau ma nā wahi i makemake nui ʻia. He nui na pilikia o ia hana.

ʻIke ka Tree Foundation i kēia lima mua. Ma o ka launa pū ʻana me SMUD, hāʻawi ka nonprofit i nā kaukani lāʻau i kēlā me kēia makahiki me ka uku ʻole. Akā, pono e nānā pono ʻia nā mea kanu - ʻoi aku ka nui o nā makahiki mua ʻekolu a ʻelima i ka lepo.

I kona mau lā mua loa i ka makahiki 1980, ua hele nā ​​mea manawaleʻa ma kahi ʻāpana kalepa o Franklin Boulevard e kau i nā lāʻau i ka lepo, wahi āna. ʻAʻohe ʻāpana kanu no laila ua ʻoki lākou i nā lua o ke kaʻa.

Me ka loaʻa ʻole o ka mana kanaka, ua lohi ka hahai ʻana. Ua make nā lāʻau. Ua aʻo ʻia ʻo Tretheway i kahi haʻawina: “He wahi palupalu a pilikia loa ke kanu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau ma nā alanui kalepa."

Ua hiki mai nā hōʻike hou aʻe ma hope. Ua aʻo kekahi haumāna puka UC Berkeley i kāna papahana kumu lāʻau malu me SMUD a paʻi i nā hopena i ka makahiki 2014. Ua ʻimi nā mea noiʻi ma mua o 400 mau lāʻau i māhele ʻia i ʻelima mau makahiki e ʻike i ka nui o nā mea e ola.

ʻO nā kumu lāʻau ʻōpio i hana maikaʻi loa aia ma nā kaiāulu me ka home paʻa. ʻOi aku ma mua o 100 mau lāʻau i make; ʻAʻole kanu ʻia 66. Ua aʻo ʻo Tretheway i kahi haʻawina ʻē aʻe: "Ke kau nei mākou i nā kumulāʻau he nui ma laila akā ʻaʻole lākou e ola mau."

KA HOOLOLI ANA A ME NA LAAU
No kekahi poʻe hoʻolālā kūlanakauhale a me ka poʻe arborists, ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o ka hana o ke kanu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau alanui, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā kaiāulu i mālama ʻole ʻia, ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi no ka hoʻololi ʻana o ke aniau honua i ke kaiapuni.

Kōkua nā kumulāʻau i ka hakakā ʻana i nā pōʻino i ʻike ʻole ʻia i ke olakino kanaka e like me ka ozone a me ka pollution particle. Hiki iā lākou ke kōkua i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i nā wela o ke alanui ma kahi kokoke i nā kula a me nā wahi kaʻa kaʻa kahi e hele pinepine ai kekahi o nā mea palupalu e like me nā keiki a me nā ʻelemakule.

"E hana nui ana nā lāʻau i ka hopu ʻana i ke kalapona a hōʻemi i ka hopena o ka mokupuni wela o ke kūlanakauhale," wahi a Stacy Springer, ka luna nui o Breathe California no ka ʻāina ʻo Sacramento. "He mea maʻalahi loa ia - kekahi o nā mea he nui - i kekahi o nā pilikia a mākou e kū nei i ko mākou kaiāulu."

ʻO ka helu o nā lā wela loa ma Sacramento hiki ke pākolu i nā makahiki he ʻekolu e hiki mai ana, e hoʻonui ana i ka nui o ka make mai nā maʻi pili i ka wela, e like me ka hōʻike mai ka Natural Resources Defense Council.

Hiki i nā lā'au ke ho'ēmi i ka hopena o nā wela wela akā inā wale nō ke kanu like.

"Inā ʻoe e kaʻa i ke alanui hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka hapa nui o ka manawa inā he wahi ʻilihune ia ʻaʻole e nui nā kumulāʻau," wahi a Blain, ka luna hoʻokele o California ReLeaf.

"Inā ʻoe e nānā ma waena o ka ʻāina, ʻo kēia ka hihia. I kēia manawa, ʻike nui ʻo Kaleponi ma ke ʻano he mokuʻāina ua loaʻa ka pono ʻole o ka nohona. "

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Blain, hāʻawi ka mokuʻāina i nā haʻawina e kuhikuhi ana i nā kaiāulu haʻahaʻa ma o kāna pāpale a me ka papahana kālepa, i loaʻa iā California ReLeaf.
