Tree Replacement - Camp Twin Canyon
Donation protected
Dear Friends of Camp Twin Canyon –
Please help us plant shade trees at Camp Twin Canyon. Our goal is to raise $14,000 by November 1, to replant with native trees and shrubs before the winter rains. Every donation makes a difference! Please join in and share with your friends – for shade, beauty, birds, clean air, and girls!
For camper safety we have had to prune and/or remove a number of mature trees from our beloved camp over the past several years. We have been very sad to lose the trees but were reminded, again, of the importance of this work after a tree limb fell into the parking lot this summer. An arborist has inspected the 11 parking lot trees and recommended that because of their size and location near power lines and parking, it is advisable for camper safety to remove these trees and replace them with native Toyon trees and native Ceanothus shrubs.
Since 2012 we have raised $23,000 to support tree pruning, removal, and re-forestation at Camp Twin Canyon and $7,000 this summer from Diablo Day Camp families. We need to raise an additional $14,000 to complete the job and re-plant the camp with native trees and shrubs. Our top priority is adding 4 mature native shade trees (and a temporary drip irrigation system) with a goal of providing shade within the camp activity area by summer 2016.
Thank you for your support,
Twin Canyon Site Committee
