Okay, I am now on Twitter

Posted on by


Okay, I am finally on Twitter now. I haven’t ever seen a lot of value in it over the last couple of years for what I do, but now, there are a couple of good uses that make sense.

http://twitter.com/licktech is great for Lick-Wilmerding Technology updates. I think it will be usefull to provide status updates and downtimes as needed to those who care to know what we are doing behind the scenes. Traffic will be pretty high I think.

http://twitter.com/jonmergy is my personal account. Very low traffic.

Miraloma Park / FUF Updates

Posted on by

Walking home the other day, I saw a bunch of freshly planted FUF trees on Joost near Foerester. Pics attached. It really makes a difference on the street. I know there are many streets in Miraloma Park that could get this sort of treatment and people would be happy.

I added a Google map overlay with the current interested addresses so people can see progress and status. I will be getting information from FUF on Miraloma Park residents that gave inquired to FUF they have on file, so I can follow-up with them and get some more people on-board

Headed down to the FUF Main Office in the Presidio to meet with other organizers on the initial phases of the tree planting project for Miraloma Park. Got a packet and overview of what this will entail and how they are trying to make this whole process easier and more community-focused throughout (not just at the planting party phases).

Here are some pictures of the small tree garden and areas around the FUF offices.

FUF Logo

I am going to try and assist in helping the Friends of the Urban Forest in an organized planting in my neighborhood of Miraloma Park in San Francisco. I created a dedicated page for people to link to and will try to get 30 or so trees sponsored in our area.

More to come on this. I am hitting a meeting at FUF headquarters Sunday, Dec 13.
