PG&E is petitioning the removal of healthy trees in our neighborhood to save on maintenance costs. Tell the City of Oakland healthy trees shouldn't be a casualty of inconvenience.
Why is this important?
Three trees on upper San Carlos Ave. are slated to be cut down unnecessarily. PG&E petitioned for them to be taken out because they require regular maintenance.
The City of Oakland is taking comments now through July 1 and our voices can make a difference. Staff at the Public Works Department have received a few calls already and say that these calls carry weight.
These are beautiful old trees that keep our street green, shady, and provide a home for birds, insects, and other wildlife. It would be a shame if these trees were removed simply because they’re an inconvenience for PG&E.
Can you help save these trees by signing this petition? Thanks for sharing your voice and keeping Oakland green(ish)! Signatures will be forwarded to the city on June 30.
