Thank you for the updates, but we have a few minor suggestions.

Please, do not put "People's Park Committee FB _ People's Park dot org" in the URL field for a post or comments as that is not an actual website URL. A website URL would be a fully formed link such as "http://www.peoplespark.org/wp/" that people can click on.

Please, trim facebook URLs. All you need for them to work is the part through the long string of numbers, such as "https://www.facebook.com/sherpaj.theninjacat/videos/1772891656150755/". Everything else after that is unnecessary and makes them a mess to look at.

Perhaps most importantly, please, include some text with the updates. Tell us what's happening in the links you are suggesting folks click on. What/what/where/when, etc. A few sentences is enough if that's all you want to write. Remember, not everyone has a facebook login or is necessarily going to click on the links or watch long videos.

As a bonus, if you are so inclined, include a photo that shows what you are talking about. For instance, if a tree-sit is happening, it'd be great to see that here. Major developments can go in new posts rather than comments since folks might not be checking back here for updates.

Lastly, feel free to suggest to others that they publish their reports, photos, and video on Indybay: https://www.indybay.org/publish.php. The more coverage that comes in, the better everyone can understand what's happening, and editors will be better able to create new center-column features.

We have cleaned up most of your comments as they've come in, but we can't do it every time.

Thank you for your passion for People's Park and for working to keep us updated.

You seem to know what you are doing. I'm not sure, if you have the time and the experience why you don't simply make these edits yourself? Thanks for your support. At least this goes on the internet. Do you have an extra camera?

This field is required.

The original site mapping of the tree site in eastern People's Park includes micro climate zoning which was almost an unheard of practice in 1981. It should be noted that David Nadel marched into a busy meeting the UC Berkeley Chancellor had had with a tree that had been butchered in the park and gave said Chancellor all kinds of hell. That of course was a long time ago and Carol Christ, Dan Mogulof and Rigel Robinson have an ahistorical neoliberal agenda. If we take wood chips to the Chancellor's on-campus mansion we will be either arrested like Terry Compost when she planted an oak sapling on the Chancellor's lawn, or shot like Rosebud Denovo, and they'll confiscate our wheel-barrow which was donated by a local construction company.

"And, like every department in the UC system, there was an overpaid somewhat absentee tree-crew manager who did tree assessments. He kept a database of every tree on campus. I’d guess management has buried it because some trees on campus deserve heritage status, some have names, some dedicated, some with testimonials and plaques, and some are targets, like the old growth plantings from 1969 wacked at People’s Park in December. "
...
"Yesterday, I checked out a crew from Expert Tree Service, UC’s go-to outsourced tree company. A reporter told me Mogulof expressed confidence in his tree contractors. At Rim Way and Centennial, they had no traffic controls, no flaggers and no barricades or uphill warning signs, just two orange cones in an intersection blocked with Monterey Cypress. The workers had no gloves, no hard hats, no eye protection no ear protection.

Grounds department crews had monthly training session in safety, personal protection, proper use and care of machinery, gardening, irrigation, traffic control and had the tools we needed to tend the campus. Even got uniforms and raingear. So last century."
