(Note:  Later after the meeting was over we submitted a note, because the master gardeners were gone, asking for clarification of denial by federal park agencies, and to date we have not received a reply to our question).  Again, we were told NOT to collect leaves from federally owned property, county parks or state parks  . . . .    “

 This is advance warning from California!

Fourteen Coastal Regions From Monterey, California  and on up to Southern Oregon are being identified as areas where varieties of oak trees and Laurels are infected with SOD (Sudden Oak Death) . . . a MOLD.

UC Berkeley has teamed up with area Master Gardeners and Google Earth to collect data and chart on google earth the locations on private property, public land and park open space where SOD is found or where there are no infected areas.  (See the colored Google Earth Map at the end of these emails).  The map indicates where there is infestation and where there is none.

This is a pilot program for the rest of the nation to limit public access to public lands.  People WILL obey for FEAR of spreading the contaminants to other areas and will relinquish access to parks and ALL areas that are deemed contaminated.

It is important to understand that these meetings have been scripted in advance, and have a predetermined outcome “designed” to give the public the idea they are hearing real scientific evidence, and they are not.  The public is intentionally being steered to believe that the science is REAL, the facts have been evaluated and the determinations are in . . .this is not the case.

Notes taken during the one hour meeting of 6/15/13 are as follows:

SOD (Sudden Oak Death) has been identified as a MOLD called Phytophthora ramorum (P. ramorum).  The ideal climate – wet, mild, 66 degrees and the pathogen grows in May and June.  The Bay Laurels are the host trees, the carrier of the MOLD.  However, the presenter master gardener said they did not really know, yet, how far inland the MOLD contamination will show up and that is what they are still investigating.  They said even though going further inland would become hotter than what they currently described as ideal temperature of 66 degrees for mold growth they were still investigating to see how much further inland the mold would grow.  This would then change the parameters of the defined temperatures and moisture conditions described for the coastal regions and expand the mold infestation inland.
