For Inspiration …
Friends of the Urban Forest’s Mission Verde documentary, showcasing a community effort that prevented the removal of 78 street trees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVg9tYE-no0
Patrick and Irma attended the premiere, and found it thought-provoking. Check it out and consider how we can leverage Mission Verde’s experience. _________________________ A Thank You from UCSF …
“Over the last several weeks, UCSF was contacted by many community members in the Dogpatch about the declining state of the trees at Esprit Park. UCSF met with the Recreation and Parks Department to relay these concerns, which were shared by UCSF, and requested a plan for how they are going to remedy the situation. Thanks to this community advocacy, RPD now has a plan in place to address tree health through additional watering and monitoring. We’re optimistic for the future health of the trees, and the park, as construction continues.”
