Ty's Take
A little money for trees might not sound like much, but anybody who's watched Red Lodge's summers turn meaner and drier knows what shade means now. The new DNRC grant for urban and community forest work isn't just about planting something green between the houses, though that matters. It's about keeping the town cooler when the heat settles in, holding water in the soil instead of letting it run off, and maybe slowing down the kind of fire danger that's changed how we all think about September. You don't have to be a forester to see that the old way of letting things go wild and hoping for the best isn't working anymore. This grant is the kind of quiet work that compounds over years.
