MARTIN-FONTANA PARKS ASSOCIATION Saving our Park Trees

On Sat. June 18th., a crew from Our City Forest, along with volunteers, planted a total of 17 trees at TJ Martin and Jeffrey Fontana Parks.  OCF worked with the City’s Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services Department to determine the planting locations.  All trees planted were on  PG&E’s approved tree list for trees under power lines. Twelve trees were planted in east TJ Martin Park near Meridian Ave.

Two trees were planted along the curb of Oakglen Way in Jeffrey Fontana Park,

two were planted along the curb south of the dog parks, and

one was planted near the Fontana statue.

Funds were provided by a grant OCF had for tree planting and watering.  Thanks so much for all the hard work provided by the volunteers.  This will help to replace some of the many dead trees felled by the drought.
