The always present Fremont Bridge carrying I-405 in the background. One reason for not planting trees in this area was to keep this view open. The small trees planted, given that they survive, will never block this. Larger trees couldhave been spotted in framing views. These could have also served to interrupt some of the solar energy that can now power ground level weed growth. This region is a naturally wooded landscape. To the left is the struggling and irrigated Blue Fescue. Again bunching/clump forming plants will leave bare ground between themselves and is more subject to weed invasion.
