Residents of Vallemar, a district of Pacifica, are fighting with PG&E about the fate of four 100-year-old palm trees. The utility company wants to cut them down because they are reaching power lines. The residents think the trees are treasures and that cutting them down would ruin their neighborhood (and destroy the homes of owls who live in the trees).
Meanwhile neighborhood children in Kids 4 Change have joined in the campaign. Some of those kids spoke at a rally March 28, and this week they've been organizing books to sell to benefit their cause. (The installation of taller utility poles, which would put greater distance between the trees and the electricity, would be costly; PG&E estimates more than $40,000; the group takes issue with the figure.)
