 Please read this letter from Jean Quan, our city councilwoman, in response to our letters of concern about Beaconsfield Canyon.



Joaquin Miller Environmental Survey media type="custom" key="2920959" ** Observations** We saw a steam that was all dry and alot of fallen trees in it. The Pacific Madrone has a red bark. The Pacific Madron has bell shaped leaves,and reddish berries in the spring. Buckeye’s have a hard shell. There are not very many Buckeye trees. I liked the waterfall because it was behind the two rocks that people say are lucky and the waterfall has rocks that look fake but they are not. We saw the Blue Elderberry, it was short, not much leaves, and it loves rain.

**Question** Why does the stinging nettle sting? How tall can a coast redwood grow? Why do Coast Redwoods grow so tall? Why do so many Oak trees live in Oakland? I wonder if the white alder is a tall tree or a short tree? How does rain help the Blue Elderberry survive? Why is poison oak poisonous?
