i'm casey asbury, the executive director, and we do environmental literacy and advocacy. so we work with deetje and other people in the public to build community around our public spaces. i'm also here on behalf of the district six sustainable open space coalition, so we work with friends of the parks and lots of other organizations. let's see if i can do this without involving the computer. so basically, i'm here as a friend of the library and of the bureau of urban forestry. we are trying to improve the tree canopy in the tenderloin, midmarket and soma areas by a factor of five. that means we really can't afford to lose any trees, so even though i can appreciate the depth of the evaluation that was done of these trees, i -- i am here to bring forward some additional considerations in hopes that we may extend the determination on these trees and also bring some more of our neighbors into the process. i think it's an opportunity for -- for education about our urban tree canopy, and while i don't want to appoint an adversarial position with our department of urban forestry
