Olympics vs Oaks at Santa Anita | California News
Description
Santa Anita Park is eyeing the chop for 34 oak trees and root-zone tweaks for 45 more near the North Parking Lot to prep for the 2028 LA Olympics’ cross-country course — sparking fierce local backlash. Residents fear it’ll devastate habitats for species like the California spotted owl and acorn woodpecker, which can’t just relocate. Olympic organizers say they’re still negotiating with city and park officials, with no final decision made yet — but community pressure is mounting as nature vs. mega-event tensions heat up.
