Corridor friends and concerned residents: On Monday, June 22nd, the EDC Board of Supervisors will be hearing County staff's recommendations on their drafted policies for oak woodland preservation. Green Valley corridor has a lot to gain from good policies, and a lot to lose from bad ones. As proposed by staff, the new policies will remove oak canopy 'retention' requirements, allowing 100% tree removal if fees are paid for off-site conservation. The Dixon Ranch development as proposed cannot meet the current oak canopy retention requirements, but the requirement just goes away under the new policies. Write to your Supervisors - the message is simple - tell them to protect our resources, and do NOT allow the oak canopy retention requirements to be removed.

We value the oak woodland in our area and do not want it to be replaced elsewhere! Allowing 100% tree removal is not acceptable. Thank you for your consideration.
