We’ve had a few questions about the mural on Tehama Street. This was one of the first big projects launched within our community, and was designed and supervised by Tehama Street resident and artist Sharon Anderson.
For additional info and a lot of photos…
Last Saturday we followed up on the big 2008 tree planting with another 30 new trees for our neighborhood. We did over 60 trees last year, so that makes almost 100 new trees planted by ClementinaCares,Inc. in the last 15 months. Great job everyone.
Matt Drake and Brian Wallace led the charge at 7am, doing the heavy lifting and grunting when the trees were delivered to our friends over at ClementinaSF. Without John Dunlap’s tireless efforts, our streets would be far more barren than they are today.
The turnout was fantastic last weekend – we had about 8 volunteers per tree, so it was really great to see that everyone is still so motivated to improve our neighborhood. Special thanks to Tami and the good folks at Luscious Garage for opening their doors to us (for the second year in a row) and hosting the post-planting potluck when we wrapped up at noon!
