[COMMENTS BY DON B. - Not much of a title is it? A person could see this public notice and not even think to read it. It lists Peter Lyons as a Urban Forest Ecologist, you know I ask him about that and he can't say much about it, wonder why? **************************
Getting the City to plant on the easement was one of our great victories. The City say they couldn't legally plant anything woody on the easement, this "proposal" was examined by UFMAC and "endorsed". In fact UFMAC never questioned this deforestation of the Cawthra Bush. The FCB did question it and got the public to reject this plan. What is very interesting is the City reported that UFMAC "endorsed" the City plan, which it never did. I noted this fact and Carmen made UFMAC change the minutes of their meeting to include an event that didn't happen. Soon after the then Chair of UFMAC left the committee, never to return. These political events just don't get reported in the Missing News. ]
