City seeks policies to better involve public in tree decisons; Encinitas, CA; 2/22/09

A tree policy grows in 'Little Oaks' San Diego Union Tribune - San Diego,CA,USA
The buzz of a chain saw ripping through wood could be the most hated sound in tree-loving Encinitas.
After all, this is the city whose very name means “little oaks” in Spanish.
It was hardly surprising that people complained when the city began cutting down 11 shade trees in Orpheus Park last month, not because the trees were diseased but because they blocked neighbors' views.
