Above: Part of an article from The San Francisco Examiner, February 23, 1934, p. 2. The article reports that 8,500 trees had already been planted in Berkeley, California, by Civil Works Administration (CWA) workers, and that requests for more trees were coming in "from all parts of the city." How many of these New Deal trees might still exist today? Image from newspapers.com, used here for educational and non-commercial purposes.
