Greetings, Neighbors, 

Are you enjoying the calm after the storm? Marin's reservoirs are almost full and our hills are green again.  We hope you are well and did not suffer from the storms. In spite of pressing regional, national and international issues, water means life and I rejoice. 

Here's an event-filled missive.  We hope you find an activity in the newsletter where you can make a difference in your life and in the life of the city by learning and providing your important perspective.

Thanks to those who attended our excellent January meeting with April Miller, Director of Public Works. Find the 1-hour recording on our website.  April wants you to report public work concerns on this website

We are happy to announce that Mayor Kate Colin will be our guest speaker at the February 28th Zoom Annual Meeting, and hope you will attend. Jim Schutz, San Rafael's retiring City Manager, will speak at our April 13th meeting. Yes there will be a Q & A!  See postings below.

You will also find a MMWD and Northgate meeting postings.

Many of us love nature. There's a note below about my work with trees along with like-minded leaders in Marin.  Perhaps it is of interest to you.  You are welcome to join us as we expand our "canopy."

There are many things on my mind as I write. I lost a friend this week and am facing hopefully minor health issues.  What brings joy to me even during times of uncertainty and loss is community connections. I look around the corner, talk with neighbors, get involved, try to solve a problem and all of a sudden, life becomes sunnier.  Hope your January and February bring you sunshine!  

See you soon,

Amy Likover

San Rafael Tree Group
While not official representatives of our groups, Bill Carney, Gina Silvestri, Kate Powers, Victoria DeWItt, Lise Ciolino and I have been meeting for more than a year trying to turn San Rafael's status as a Tree City USA into policy. Our group members inform their groups (I, the Federation) as we progress on our policy work. [We mourn the recent loss of our steadfast group member, Judy Schriebman who will be honored at the Fed Annual Meeting.]

The group's purpose has been to craft a responsible and environmentally friendly street tree policy for the City, taking the lead on the City Council's stated budgetary goal for 2021. We worked in collaboration with the DPW and the draft ordinance is currently under review by the City attorney and the DPW.  The final draft will go to the City Council for approval. 

We believe that there are many devoted fans of urban forestry in the Fed friends list. If you are interested in being a founding member of the San Rafael Friends of Forestry, or if you have specific expertise in the arena of tree science or forestry and would like to join our work group, please email me personally likoveramy@gmail.com
