Amidst current legal action, and ongoing debate between the University and the Our Farm! Movement, UC Berkeley's Office of Capital Projects commissioned the clear-cut of 60 trees on the south side of the historic Gill Tract Farm, raising outrage from students and and community. Please join in the ongoing efforts to fight against the development of this historic farm land!
In the early morning of Thursday, February 26th, UC Berkeley’s office of Capital Projects commissioned the clear-cut of 60 trees on the south side of the historic Gill Tract Farm. The UC’s quick move to begin clearing the way for their proposed housing and shopping complex shocked farmers and neighbors, who are still awaiting a date for an active lawsuit on appeal in the county courts contesting the development’s detrimental environmental impact. Knowing the community would mobilize to defend the trees, the UC hired a huge demolition team and police force, cutting down the trees with lightning speed before community could arrive. Now it is up to the community to mobilize themselves to protest further action that would destroy the viability of the entire Gill Tract Farm for agricultural use.
