In March 2024 the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission removed 11 trees from four acres on the north side of O’Shaughnessy, just beyond where the last block of Bosworth makes a right turn. The eucalyptus trees were planted more than 100 years ago and were at risk of falling. Furthermore, access is needed for firefighters in case of wildfire in the area of Glen Canyon Park.
SFPUC is replacing the trees on December 9 with California native plants, which will attract birds, insects, and pollinators.”The goal is to extend the riparian corridor around Islais Creek in the canyon using native plants to create a fire break that also nurtures local fauna,” wrote Heather World in The Glen Park News when the plan was first announced.
Glen Park neighbors are invited to join in on Tuesday, December 9, 9:15am–12:30pm, for a volunteer workday. Interested persons can get further information and use this form to sign up to volunteer. People are also welcome to stop by or join at another time.
