Friends of the Urban Forest Tree Planting Corona Heights and Cole Valley, Feb 16th, 2008

Hello All!

Planting Day is almost upon us. I have a few reminders.

  • Friday morning at 7am the trees and stakes will be delivered to 649 Shrader St. Jan, Ruth, and Kevin Dunn volunteered to unload the trees, but we could use more help. If you are available for a couple hours Friday morning, please come by to help us.
  • Gina, John, Tracy, Jay, and Eric have volunteered trucks for Saturday – thank you all and see you Saturday morning at 8am.
  • For those of you with existing basins, please make sure all plants, roots, and bricks are removed by Saturday morning. If you have removed a tree, please make sure the stump has been ground down 2’ below sidewalk level and the roots are completely removed.
  • Marie (mariesay@aol.com) is coordinating the potluck. If you haven’t done so by now, please contact her with your contribution. We have about 40 volunteers coming to help you all plant your trees! Thanks to Marie for coordinating this!
  • Ruth at 1119 Stanyan has volunteered her home/garage for the potluck. Thank you Ruth!

If you haven’t done so by now, please mail me your payment with optional early tree care pre-payment. Please mail to P.O. Box 29456, SF, CA 94129-0456.

Lastly, thank you again to Kevin and Tracy for all their work in making this happen. Without their door-knocking, phone-calling, emailing, and xeroxing this wouldn’t have happened at all!

Please let me know if you all have any questions or concerns. Otherwise, I will see you all Saturday, February 16th at 8am!
