Tree Planting in Miraloma Park and Sunnyside Today!
FUF augered the holes and we have 35 trees going in. Less that I had hoped, but still okay I suppose. Still it will be 35 more trees in San Francisco than there were before.
Party @ the MPIC with the Spring BBQ after planting is done. We are bringing cupcakes and lots of wine.
Great Turnout For FUF Meeting on Miraloma Park / Sunnyside
Great turnout everyone for the 3/15 Meeting with Sally our Planting Manager for the Miraloma Park/Sunnyside Planting on April 17th. Here are some pics. Video to come as well for those that couldn't make it. Thanks again for Miraloma Park Improvement Club's support for me and the group. They have continued to be a huge help on our tree-planting effort.
FUF Planting Forms Needed By March 15!
Just sent out an email to the interest parties in getting trees to get some forms back for the planting by the 15th of March.
Here is the FUF page with links to the forms we need.

You can fax them directly to FUF or drop them by my house.
Miraloma Park Friends of the Urban Forest Planting Date: April 17th
Woo-hoo! We have a date with Friends of the Urban Forest to work towards now. This will mean we will have to have everyone's forms in by March 15th, but we should be able to do that!
Congrads to everyone out there in the 'hood for stepping up. I will probably want to sit in front of Tower Market to see if I can get anyone else prior to moving ahead. I am very excited and ready to plant for the neighborhood.
