    As new information is brought to our attention (Tree Mortality workshop today), is it wise to remove all the blue oak? It is confusing IS20-97 states 120 acres of habitat and all blue oaks will be removed and then on another page states No live trees would be removed. Pg 17 Approximately 180 acres of ponderosa pine/black oak forest habitat are mapped as preserve areas to mitigate for the removal of approximately 120 acres of that habitat. All of the blue oak (which does reduce diversity on the property) will be removed. Also, blue oak woodland is widespread throughout the county and surrounding area; therefore, losing some of it is less critical than the other two communities. Pg 20. No live trees would need to be removed for the development of this project as the cannabis cultivation project will be developed in a previously cleared area. How many oaks will actually be removed?
