Do you take the trees in your neighborhood for granted? One way to shake that ennui – organize a Tree Walk.

Thanks for covering this if you follow the link forterra working in conjunction with the city is trying to get citizens interested in becoming tree ambassador’s like the individual who lead this group and also those interested in getting work parties together to target neglected public tiny owned spaces and properties in our communities. About 8 of us total in 4 hours we able to with the tools and dumpster provided thru the city clear and overgrown path that leads to the bridge that spans Fauntleroy at Andover st. . It was rewarding work and long over due and although SDOT should by all means be doing it I believe they just down have the resources.
