Challenges, our overall goal, were trying to move toward is be able to sustain a 15year tree management cycle. We want to do tree management maintenance on each parked tree in maintained open space on a 15year schedule. And we are attempting to do that through, basically, three strategy approaches here and we do have our daytoday tree maintenance. Our tree crews who do the daytoday tree maintenance and our reactive resource to get out and take care of things in realtime, as tree issues occur. And we do tree assessments each year. We use a thirdparty contractor. Hortscience is our city provider and contractor. We do usually six tree assessments on six we do six assessments on six Park Properties per year and from those assessments, we take the recommendations and they then compromise the work plan for either tree crews or contract work to accomplish those maintenance actions on our park trees. And as nicholas pointed out, a very important point for us is that we are in a joint rfp with
Reserve. Mount sitro is located under the sitro tower tv antenna and right about in the middle of the city where you see the green hexagon. The right map is a closeup of the mount sitro open reserve just to the left of the ucsf campus there. The open space reserve is over 60 acres and on those 60 acres we have about 5. 5 miles of Public Access trails. Some other statistics ill mention real quickly, theres about 900 feet of elevation gain across this property. Those are beautiful trails in those trees and giving great views. We also have over 10,000 living trees in the reserve. We also have between 200 and 300 residents that live in the housing facility up at the top top of the mountain. The history is the mayor in 1885 he donated 13 acres to create the ucsf campus there. In 1953, decades later, ucsf purchased 90 additional acres, including the area that is now the open space reserve on mountain sutro. And in 1976, the uc regions designated that as permanent open space, designating this
