Work halted around City destroyed Tree. The damage may be too great to save it

Lee Heidhues 9.8.2022

The New Zealand Christmas Tree is dying and needs to be thoroughly irrigated in this HOT weather.

Work has apparently stopped at the site of the City destroyed New Zealand Christmas Tree at 39th Avenue and Clement Street in San Francisco.

City workers totally ignored a binding Decision by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission preserving the decades old landmark.

In their haste to bring recycled water to the privileged class at Lincoln Park Golf Course, the City totally ignored the Decision and City regulations requiring a Tree Protection Plan.

Liz Heidhues visited the site of the destruction earlier today and took some photographic evidence.
