Ngo-Agasti 24, amavolontiya ambalwa ahlangana ukuze atshale izihlahla eziyishumi eBurke Park eHuntington Beach. Kuvele ukuthi leli paki, elizungezwe indawo yokuhlala, liyindawo ekahle yokuthi i-Huntington Beach Tree Society itshale izihlahla futhi ifundise namavolontiya ngokubaluleka kwazo.
UJean Nagy, uMqondisi Omkhulu weNhlangano Yezihlahla, wachaza, “Lapho amavolontiya eqala ukutshala ekuseni ngalolo suku, kwabonakala sengathi omakhelwane babengakwazi ukuhlala ezindlini zabo. Abaningi babo kwadingeka basize.”
Abanikazi bezindlu bawubonga umsebenzi owenziwe wokuhlobisa ipaki. Abangase bangaqapheli ukuthi lezo zihlahla zibuye zikhuphule amanani entengo yempahla, zihlanza umoya eziwuphefumulayo, futhi zandisa amathuba okuba zisebenze ngokwengeziwe ngokomzimba.
Lokhu kutshalwa kwezihlahla kwenzeke ngenxa yesibonelelo esinikezwe i-Huntington Beach Tree Society yi-California ReLeaf. I-ReLeaf isekela izinhlelo ezifana nalolu ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nesidingo esibalulekile sokudala nokugcina imiphakathi enempilo e-California. Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe ngamaphrojekthi afana naleli, vakashela yethu ikhasi lezibonelelo. Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izihlahla eziningi ziyatshalwa futhi zinakekelwe eCalifornia, nikela manje.
