Oakhurst Beautification

IMPORTANT - MOVING TO FROM PAGE TO GROUP- DO NOT LIKE THIS PAGE BUT GO TO THE NEW GROUP - ALSO NEED & EXISTING MEMBER TO MOVE TO THE NEW GROUP. CAN'T FIND A WAY TO MOVE THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHERE TO THE NEW GROUP.

We will be closing down the Page Oakhurst Beautification and have a new Group Oakhurst Beautification. Please take a moment to join the Group & unlike the Page. For now I will leave the page up so people can view the previous posts. By changing to a Group everyone can interact and post things. Plus Page is pretty much about business & has changed to be unuseable pretty or had to use much without paying Meta.

Do hope to see all of you over at the new Oakhurst Beautification GROUP. Here is the link to the GROUP Oakhurst Beautification

We need trees all down Highway 41 and Highway 49. Especially with climate change affecting us more and more every day.

Can you help me get this important info out to school trustees and admins. I know Fresno could use some cooling off as well as Eastern Madera County. A while back someone in our group said the schools on school road don't have many/any trees to give young children shade.

Over the past few months, the Mariposa Gateway Elements project has focused on extensive public engagement to build out the project. The project entails at least two murals on privately owned....

We do need to get back to work after COVID. I am older now & dealing with issues. If someone wants to take over this group as leader I would be opening to helping, supporting and mentoring as much as I can. Let me know if you are interested.

Wouldn't this be nice? Great way to beautify an area.

Imagine planting fruit trees and vegetable plants on every sidewalk that feed everyone and end hunger for the homeless. 🍎 🍐🍏🍇🍅🥕

Sounds like a great project. We should see what we can do for Highway 41 & Highway 49 in Oakhurst. Any body want to offer to check out the Cal Trans program?

How about a nice oak tree lined Highway 41 and 49?

How Urban Trees Save Lives New research shows a strong connection between a healthy urban tree canopy and lowered mortality rates.

Something for us to think about when trying to beautify Oakhurst.

Remember one of our members mentioned how one of the schools on 427 really needed shade for the children. Looks like LA is going to do something about that. Hope Oakhurst will too. With climate change it will be more and more important for our children.

UPDATE: L.A. Unified adopts ambitious plan to cool down playgrounds — but is it fast enough? The latest education news updates from EdSource.

I still want trees down Highway 41 & 49 in Oakhurst. Need to get back to work on that.

Ask for trees in your city 🌲

It has been a long time since I have talked with you. When we missed the Cal Trans grant deadline, due to no fault of ours, I lost hope. Before I could get it back I badly broke my leg on February 23, 2020. Before I could get back up and around COVID came into our lives. We have greatly grown since then the number of members on this page. The word did get around. Now something else sinister is happening. It may cause some of you to leave or may cause me sorrow.

If you haven't noticed Mark Reed just mentioned five local woman in a mailed flyer. He inferred we were witches, gay, Democrats and
Socialists. We five are feeling unsafe in our own community now. But we will not back down.

I was thinking of starting to get Oakhurst Beautification active again since COVID is getting better. I just wonder if I and others would be safe if we held a public meeting. Hopefully some of this will blow over after the election and we can start up the group again to bring about positive change for our community. If you have any questions of concerns please send me a FB message under my name instead of here so I am sure I get it. Sorry for having to do this but I wanted to clear things up if there are concerns about me and the other women.

Depaving Cities for a Greener Future Minimum Viable Planet is a weeklyish newsletter about climateish stuff, and how to keep it together in a world gone mad. This week, Montreal’s depaving efforts make this Toronto-dweller green with envy (and inspiration).

Nice time to help a neighbor if nothing going on by you.

Many of my ideas about Oakhurst Beautification come from my good friend Mayor Rey Leon. He is so awesome. Oakhurst needs to work to get a mayor like him.
