Day of the Dead Trees - November 2, 2013

Berkeley Activists Protest Tree Cuts and Pesticides

Photos by Luke Hauser

East Bay activists organized by CUIDO (Communities United in Defense of Olmstead - a disabled rights group that has been active in fighting social service cuts in recent years) staged a colorful march around downtown Berkeley to raise awareness of impending clearcuts of thousands of tall trees.

In addition to the tree cuts, plans propose extensive use of herbicides for up to ten years.

The official rationale for the cuts is fire danger, but the project's sponsors (which include the City of Oakland and UC-Berkeley, friends of neither people nor trees) dismissed alternative approaches.

CUIDO has helped anchor the local fight against state social service cuts, and some of the "Stop the Cuts" signs for the trees action were recycled from those protests.

You can help stop the clear cuts, visit HillsConservationNetwork.org or East Bay Pesticide Alert.

Contact CUIDO at www.CUIDO.org or email cuidoaction@gmail.com
