Preventing Wildfire: Support the Oakland Vegetation Management Plan, by David Kessler
The City of Oakland has been working for several years on a comprehensive Vegetation Management Plan. The revised version, a detailed study of almost 600 pages, will be formally presented at the Planning Commission on November 1st (Oakland City Hall, 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, at 3PM ). If approved, it moves to the City Council. A working group would then be set up to address such crucial questions as how to secure funding to implement its recommendations.
