LinkLinksOpinion Robert McDonald and Florence Williams in The Current: Climate change, urban heat waves, and the natural solution By Editor On Aug 8, 2018 Last updated Aug 8, 2018 57 Share As Washington faces what looks to be a very hot summer, Astrid Jöehnk can peer out from her 1923 row house in Brookland. She knows her street is a little less hot and glaring than it used to be. With help from the nonprofit Casey Trees, Jöehnk and her neighbors have advocated for, planted, and watered a dozen trees on their block. Those trees include three graceful yellowwoods, three American hornbeams, and a redbud. Her side of the street had no trees at all in 2011. “It needed help,” said the 52-year-old radio producer.
