Oakland and Berkeley California

This is the short sequence of some favorite shots. There's also a longer sequence covering most of the trip. The photos are mostly from 2009 through 2011, where the number on the left of each title is a date in YYMMDD format.

UC Berkeley has been planning a major tree cut and ongoing herbicide applications here, as part of more FEMA-funded tree cutting all along the East Bay Hills. Groups opposing the plan include Conservation Sense and Nonsense, the Hills Conservation Network, the TreeSpirit Project, the Coalition to Defend East Bay Forests, and East Bay Pesticide Alert.

My photos of some of the threatened trees are at bapd.org/treestalk.html. For an outline of arguments against the cuts, see bapd.org/treenotes.html.
