DESCRIPTION:The Board of East Bay Regional Parks will be asked on June 24, 2010, to 
 approve prescribed burns in public parks in the East Bay \n\nOn Thursday, 
 June 24, 2010, the Board of the East Bay Regional Park District will be 
 asked to approve the “Fuels Management Work Plan” for 2011. (available 
 here:   
 http://www.ebparks.org/files/ebrpd_brd_exec_cmt_packet_06-24-2010.pdf)  
 \n\nIn addition to several projects requiring the destruction of trees, 
 there are five prescribed burns planned.  One of the burns—on 
 approximately 50 acres at Pt Pinole--is explicitly for the purpose of 
 “prairie restoration.”\n\nThe meeting, which begins at 12:45 pm, will 
 take place at park headquarters at 2950 Peralta Oaks Court in Oakland and 
 is open to the public. \n\nPlease visit the Million Trees blog to read 
 about the many prescribed burns (AKA “controlled” burns) that have 
 caused major wildfires in the Bay Area and elsewhere:  
 http://milliontrees.wordpress.com/2010/05/27/uncontrolled-burns/.  We 
 explain in this post that the public is being told that these burns are for 
 the purpose of reducing fire hazard, but that most are in fact for the 
 purpose of supporting native plant restorations.  Every allegation in this 
 post is supported by scientific evidence and official documents.  \n\nThe 
 Million Trees blog was created in May 2010 to inform the public of the many 
 projects on public lands in the San Francisco Bay Area that have destroyed 
 tens of thousands of trees and intend to destroy hundreds of thousands more 
 in the future.  \n\n\n
