Santa Monica Coral Trees in Crisis | Venice Beach News

Santa Monica’s facing a dangerous tree crisis on San Vicente Boulevard, where 13 coral trees were assessed — nine deemed high risk, three moderate, one low — all suffering from severe decay, root damage, and drought-induced decline. After one tree collapsed on July 4th, the city moved swiftly, removing 12 assessed trees plus four smaller ones flagged earlier.

A community meeting is scheduled for August 6th at 7 PM to discuss the plan. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
