I’m confused.
Sixty trees were removed from our golf course without permission from the RSFA Art Jury’s approved plans? (Another reason self-regulation doesn’t work.) Then somehow San Diego County got involved and mandated a 60-tree replacement plan from our RSFA within six months?
What did the RSFA submit to San Diego County? Because 60 trees don’t look like they have been replanted on the golf course. In fact, more trees seem to have been removed over the last few years.
Was the trail beautification planting along the golf course a way to make up for golf issues? Is the trail oversight different than the golf course oversight? What did the Trails Committee say about this?
What did the members who live along the golf course say about trees planted in front of their homes to replace the trees removed from the middle of a golf course?
Now two more large trees are being removed (for safety) by the snack bar to make room for a larger building. Is there a replacement plan for removing such large-scale, 50+-year-old trees? Will the RSFA replant the two trees in front of members’ homes on the trail rather than in the middle of the course again?
Should the RSFA adopt a fire-safe tree that can grow large and help preserve our community’s unique forest for future generations? Since there is a waterway and annual flooding on the course, could tree planting be beneficial in those areas?
Without all the information, it’s hard to understand what is going on here as more large trees continue to disappear from our community’s landscape.
