114 | CITY OF PLEASANTON URBAN FOREST MASTER PLAN <br />URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES <br />Current Practices <br />The City of Pleasanton uses the mulch generated from <br />tree work as landscaping material for parks and medians. <br />The City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) has set forth a goal to <br />manage the amount, source, placement, and timing of plant <br />nutrients and soil amendments in City parks, green spaces, <br />and natural areas through actions such as applying recycled <br />wood mulch from tree trimmings into planters, medians, and <br />tree wells and leaving green waste on-site to the extent <br />feasible In 2017, the city recycled a black locust tree to craft <br />a bench for a public plaza in front of the Cultural Arts Center <br />on Black Avenue (Figure 1-3). <br />Recommendations <br /> ƒConsider alternative and creative uses for urban wood <br />repurposing, such as partnership projects with local <br />schools, artisans, and lumber mills. <br /> ƒEncourage tree contractors to provide mulch to residents <br />or consider establishing mulch giveaway locations <br />throughout the City.
