This page is dedicated for the Friends of the Urban Forest / Miraloma Park Tree Planting Project for 2010. I am going to help organize the latest effort to get 30 or more new trees in our neighborhood in working with other Miraloma Park residents and the Friends of the Urban Forest.
Here is a map of who has expressed interest so far.

2/23/2010 Update -We have a planting date from FUF –> April 17th!
We will be working on a planting to take place on April 17th for the area. I will let everyone who contacted me about this so we can get the next phase running.
———————————-
Starting January 1, 2010, the whole process of getting trees planted and working with the city should be more streamlined which is why I am signing myself up to organize things here in Miraloma Park. Friends of the Urban Forest will be able to offer Tree Packages for $75 as of January 1, 2010. Tree Packages include everything: permit facilitation, utility check, cutting and removal of concrete, your tree, all stakes and hardware, and two years of Tree Care visits.
GETTING A TREE WITH FRIENDS OF THE URBAN FOREST
WHAT YOU DO:
- Point to a spot on the sidewalk
- Signing the document called “Forms of the Urban Forest” and a check for 75 bucks.
WHAT FUF DOES:
- Acquire the permits from the city
- Perform utilities checks under your sidewalk
- Provide you with a list of arborist approved trees in your microclimate
- and a chance to meet and talk with our arborist
- Mark where the trees will go
- Cut the concrete in front of the house
- Show up with a team of volunteers and plant your tree
- Supply all the stakes, arbor ties, and watering buckets for your tree
- Provide 18 months of arborist-led tree care after the planting.
I will post forms and links needed. If you own in Miraloma Park and are interested in buying a tree or two for your sidewalk or yard, please send me an email so I can get in the fold. Thanks!
