I once used Mt. Umunhum to navigate our way towards your house when we were lost!
We have Mt. St. Helena up north to gaze upon- an extinct volcano.

Have a great day,

Keith

Blog2Tree Trimming on Stevens Creek Trail, Not TJ Martin/Jeffrey Fontana?
Calendar Posted Wed May 26 08:56PM

Interesting. It seems to be there's safety in numbers. PG&E is seeking a permit to trim back
trees on the Stevens Creek Trail, where there are power lines, but will be chopping them
down in Almaden's TJ Martin/Jeffrey Fontana Parks. What gives?

A little background from my previous blogs:

PG&E has cut many healthy trees on private and public property under or near their power lines throughout the state of California. We here in San Jose are not alone. Unfortunately, the city of San Jose has not even required a permit from PG&E to remove the 140 trees in the T.J. Martin/Fontana Parks over the next two years. Reasonable action would be to trim rather than destroy trees. I believe this is not a viable solution for PG&E because ongoing trimming will cost more than removing them. The irony is that PG&E has spent 35 million dollars to pass Proposition 16 which will make them a monopoly but yet they offered a meager $75 to replace each cut tree in our two parks. I think PG&E is a hypocrite to promote Earth Day and the "Green" movement but yet are unnecessarily destroying healthy trees.

Blog2Almaden's Efforts to Save the Trees
Calendar Posted Sun May 23 12:10PM

I attended the rally yesterday with about 60 other concerned residents. It was not surprising that there were
not as many people this time around, as PG&E, and the city have done a lot to downplay and stall the
urgency of this event. There are many discrepencies in their reports vs. those of concerned residents,
engineers, the Audobon Society, Sierra Club an more, who all had representatives at the rally.
A CBS interview prior to the rally.

Beware; Prop 16 is a wolf in sheep's clothing. This will give them more
carte blanche to many issues like these. Ask yourself; why would they fund this proposition?
A few interesting links:

A short clip on the rally, and the old oak scheduled to be chopped down this June.

There was some very enlightening information on the truths behind the tree removals. CBS was also on hand to film the event, as well as a local radio station.
