Following our previous post and your outpouring of dismay for the fate of this Strawberry Madrone, Ecology Action heard your heartfelt concern and sent out a letter in response, saying, in part:
All of us at Ecology Action have been touched by how many people in our neighborhood have come to love and value the tree – and be moved to protect it. And we want to protect it.
After some late night brainstorming and penciling, we have found a way to do just that. … we are proposing to move our bike storage building further away from the South lot line so the tree can remain.
Thank you Ecology Action for doing the right thing!

Good work. Kind of a ‘no duh’ except that Ecology Action has never been much of a pro-tree or pro-wildlife organization. As such, it is amazing that they were willing to move their #1 focus- bikes!- facility. Trees trump bikes for Ecology Action?!! What’s next? Will they prioritize species conservation? Wow.
