Destruction At Berkeley's People's Park

The giant tree they felled yesterday was not sick. The tree trimming they performed will promote further desertification in the park and garden. In a drought this is a major concern. We are already on water restriction for our starts and vegetables. There is a gaping hole in the canopy in the northern section of the park. I've seen this happen all over the bay area. Its going to be a hot summer. Worse, they will continue to pick off trees and produce mulch, and destroy the garden, and promote urban garden/park desertification. The watershed will become a boiler and the rest of the neighborhood will soon worsen with the coming heat.

What can I say? Edward Snowden took a large neon orange fence that the arborists apparently installed to dissect the park in order to create divisiveness within localized socio-dynamic circles, removed it from its points of tie, and threw it into the empty lot across the street. After witnessing this I went to water the garden as I sometimes do. A UCPD officer accused me of taking the fencing down, and told me to bring it back into the park. I agreed that I would do so despite threat of arrest under the terms that that police officer would not pursue extradition charges against Edward Snowden.

One tree only needed supports, and barely. None of the trees were diseased. UCB admin are fascists. If you want to take control of People's Park there's a riseup support group you can sign up for.
