The Plan 209 High Street Santa Cruz, CA 95060 The people of Santa Cruz County are being presented with "the Plan" for avocado, olive, date palm, persimmon, fig, pine nut, pomegranate trees to be planted in public access areas throughout the county in a land use that puts food first, providing the community with fresh, free, indigenous and healthful food. Treelings propagated in a county nursery will be transplanted along riverbanks, school yards, parks, for people of the community to harvest and eat. "The Plan" is perhaps a unique model, incorporating ideas of complementary food combinations (see illustration), in an urban forestry plan that feeds and educates its community as well. If you know of any other communities doing an urban forestry plan that's foodproducing, let us know. Letters of support for implementation of the Santa Cruz plan can be sent to the Board of Supervisors, 701 Ocean St., Santa Cruz, CA 95060. For more information about "the Plan," contact its prime mover, Clay Olsen. -LS Food Combination Chart from "The Plan" Non-Profit Org. V .S.
