Redwood Defenders on the Move in Menlo Park

What's a Menlo Park resident to do? When the building owner at 1000 El Camino Real was faced with leaks in the underground parking structure, he came up with a cheap fix. Petitioning the city of Menlo Park for permission to remove seven heritage redwoods in front of the building, he soon gained permission, even though the trees had not caused the structural problems in the garage.

Community members have come forward with a plan, one that would save the trees AND fix the owner's garage. The problem...well of course...it's all about $$$. Alas, the environmentally-wise resolution is more expensive. It has been said that private enterprise will always choose the lowest cost solution. And so it seems.

Tree defenders will make their appeal at an upcoming Environmental Commission meeting. They vow to cleave to their goal, even if it means standing in front of the trees should their destruction become imminent. Join us, more information at link here.
