Document Description
This project, to be carried out by the City of Bakersfield, involves the planting of 200 trees in various city parks. Some planting locations include Amberton Park, Campus Park, and Quailwood Park. It is anticipated that this project will commence in April of 2000 and be completed by January 2002. Trees will be non-native ornamentals that have been selected for their disease resistance, adaptation to the urban landscape, shade capacity, and minimal litter production. Trees will be 15 gallon size, and all trees will be planted, staked and tied, watered and maintained in accordance with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's tree planting guidelines.

Reasons for Exemption
As lead agency under CEQA, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection finds that this project is Categorically Exempt. This project involves minor alterations to land and vegetation including the planting of new landscaping trees. As this is a heavily disturbed urban environment there is a low likelihood of impacting any significant biological resources. CDF's archaeological staff have reviewed this project and determined that there are no cultural of hictoric resources present in the project vicinity. CDF's finds the proposed activities will pose a less than significant impact to the environment including cultural, historic and biological resources.
