Conservancy member Ron Berman (standing in the middle with white hat) led Conservancy board members last week on a tour of work in the upper part of the eucalyptus grove at the Stonewall Road entry to the Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve. Ron reinvigorated the discussion among planners at the East Bay Regional Park District to thin and clear many overgrown and dangerous trees and debris in the grove, a prospect that has been on the Park District's books for over a decade. Work began earlier this summer, with Ron's encouragement, and is near completion. We will have a complete report on this important project in our fall newsletter.
