Forestry Projects 2023-2024

Thomas Redwood Reforestation – Phase 3

In August 2023, we’ll begin the third phase of our Redwood Reforestation site along Thomas Avenue in the Infantry Terrace neighborhood. We’ll remove 40-50 large aging Monterey Cypress trees that continue to fail and damage the adjacent infrastructure along Thomas Avenue and lower Infantry Terrace.

We’ll replant approximately 50 small stature species, including Oaks, buckeye, and Gowen Cypress. Then, we’ll replant the understory with native species to increase biodiversity and protect the slope from erosion.

Cavalry Bowl Reforestation – Phase 2

In September 2023, we’ll begin the second phase of reforestation at the Cavalry Bowl Stand. We’ll remove approximately 40 trees on the south side of the stand and the northeast corner of Lincoln Boulevard and McDowell Avenue. Most of the trees here are declining rapidly. Some healthy Monterey Cypress trees will be retained to promote a mixed aged stand. We’ll replant the understory with native plants to increase biodiversity at the site.

Bowley Reforestation – Phase 2

In October 2023, we’ll begin the second phase of reforestation along Lincoln Boulevard near Baker Beach. This area is within the Vegetation Management Plan Historic Forest Management Zone. We’ll remove approximately 30 declining Monterey Cypress and Monterey Pine just south of the phase one project area. We’ll replant approximately 100 Monterey Cypress and mixed conifer species. By diversifying the understory with native plants, we’ll increase the biodiversity of the stand and stabilize the slope.
