No, Amanda Oakson did not chain herself to a tree. But she considered it.
By protesting, erecting signage and lying at the base of Valley Oak No. 273 Thursday, the Los Altos Hills resident attracted the attention of Mayor Kavita Tankha and Council member Linda Swan, who intervened and stopped arborists from chopping it down.
Tankha could not be reached for comment Thursday, but Oakson said the mayor told her council members intend to discuss the treeâs fate during their Aug. 19 meeting.
âAll we ask for in this is time to consider a third option instead of life or death,â Oakson said. âAnd the option that weâre looking for is some way to safely preserve this historic tree and also keep it safe from hurting any human life or property.â
