Mendofever reports a proposal for a segment of the Great Redwood Trail south of Ukiah is getting scrutiny from environmentalists who are concerned about plans to remove over forty valley oaks, a half dozen of them more than forty inches in diameter. But city staff say many of the trees, including the biggest ones, can likely be spared as plans for the trail continue to evolve. Three local women requested from the Ukiah City Council this week for more opportunities for the public to engage in plans for the trail.
