You are invited to a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) Public Hearing for UCSF’s proposed Mount Sutro Vegetation Management Plan. This meeting is to receive public comments on the adequacy and accuracy of the information presented in the DEIR.



To achieve a healthy and stable ecosystem, the plan outlines strategies for increasing the biodiversity of vegetation, conserving existing native vegetation, improving the regeneration and recruitment of tall tree species, managing insect and disease pressure on blue gum eucalyptus, and improving structural diversity. The purpose of the plan is to provide a management framework for protecting, enhancing, and restoring vegetation in the 61-acre Reserve. University staff worked with consultants and a panel of technical advisors to develop the plan.

Please visit mountsutro.ucsf.edu to find out more about the plan and the public process.

The DEIR will be available at campusplanning.ucsf.edu for a 46-day public review and comment period beginning July 24, 2017 through September 22, 2017.

Send written comments to the attention of Ms. Diane Wong, UCSF Campus Planning, Box 0286, San Francisco, CA 94143 or email to EIR@planning.UCSF.edu.
