* I recently read about a 1999 campaign for trees on a block of Ward Street. My intent was to walk the block this evening and post my observations tomorrow. However, darkness descended more swiftly than I could bicycle home. My new goal is to take a walk this Thursday or Friday and prepare the post for next Wednesday's Tree Walk installment.

Thanks, Georgia. I like event lists/reminders.
Did you see the article in the latest Daily Planet about the report on East Bay Parks and environmental justice? I just downloaded the (huge) report from here:
http://www.ggu.edu/school_of_law/academic_law_programs/jd_program/environmental_law
Looks very interesting.
Jen, thank you for the information about the EB parks/EJ report. The author, Paul Stanton Kibel, has an interesting background.
His premise about low-income, minority residents have inequitable access to environmental amenities like parks is very thoughtful. In addition to parks, there are communities that are environmentally under-resourced because they lack a sufficient and healthy urban forest canopy.
I look forward to reading the entire report!
