Why are parks and forest in southern California so ugly?
Like the Angeles National Forest. It’s not a forest. It’s filled with shrub, rocks, dried sand. It’s ugly. Trees in southern california are ugly. you have to go to northern california to see those beautiful redwoods.

DUH! It’s all about the climate. SoCal=Desert, which means no rain
NorCal=temerate zone, wich means lots of rain.
Trees need rains to grow, so more rain means more (and prettier) trees.
I’m guessing you’ll fit right in SoCal, with all the trees and scrub.

LOL, coming from Dallas I think the tress and parks are nice and in a lot greater number here.
Try going to the Huntington Gardens in the spring. It will change your opinion about there only being ugly parks here.
I’ll go along with everyone else. This is a glorified desert. If we didn’t take water from the Colorado River than LA would never have grown to the 2nd largest city in the U.S.

Redwoods don’t grow as a rule in southern california. Pines do grow in the Angeles National Forest…I’ve been backpacking there and have slept in pine forests, so you’re just not looking at the right place. Try book Trails of the Angeles (John Robinson) for advice.
Pine forests don’t look as good as they did 20 years ago because of recent forest fires and mudslides that wiped out a lot of trees plus invasion of the bark beetles which have devistated pine forests in southern california. The climate here is more dry than central and northern california because of their relative distance from the equator, so you shouldn’t really be comparing one with the other.
