Precita Park Tree Planting
Davida Capler, the head of the tree department of the Recreation and Parks Department, contacted Precita Valley Neighbors with an update on trees in the park. They will be planting trees in conformity with the tree planting plan developed by Precita Valley Neighbors in 2004 and partly completed in 2005.
The department will replace trees that have been vandalized. On the south side of the park at Precita and Harrison there is a young acacia that is severely diseased. They will remove that tree and plant 3 ginko trees. They also plan to replant two cherries where there were 3 and only one remains. They will also plant 3 malice trees on the northwest side of the park. In the future they plan to put a couple of cedars on the North side of the park near Harrison.
It has been distressing to see the damage done to some of our new trees and we commend Davida for initiating the planting of these trees in our park. Her number is (415) 831-6338.
