TREES NEED THEIR ROOTS –
� TREES CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT ROOTS.
� TREES BREATHE THROUGH THEIR ROOTS and
ABSORB NUTRITION THROUGH THEIR ROOTS.
� TREES CANNOT THRIVE IF THEIR ROOTS ARE
CONTINUALLY DAMAGED.
� TREES CANNOT THRIVE IN COMPACTED SOIL.
� WHAT COMPACTS SOIL?
� HEAVY EQUIPMENT, CONSTANT PRESSURE…...

TREES AND TRUCKS are not a good mix.
An entire grove of trees was used as a parking lot for trucks - the same location as
last year. There are miles of paving in Golden Gate Park -- let's keep the vehicles
off of the parkland!

Trucks should not drive under tree canopies
2013
2013
Why isn’t this truck in the street?
Why is a path next to a tree
chosen?
![Page 6: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Trucks driving under the canopy: Is this tree important? Is it worth protecting?
![Page 7: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Yes, it is worth
protecting!
Remember – it
takes 60 years to
grow a 60-year old
tree.

FENCING --
FENCING PROTECTS VEGETATION
DURING THE CONCERTS – THIS IS
GOOD.
FENCING LOCKS PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR
PARK FOR TWO WEEKS AND
DEGRADES THE PARK EXPERIENCE –
THIS IS NOT GOOD.
![Page 9: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FENCING - This is the festival map –
This is what is actually fenced:
Blue = festival map area
Red = fenced area
Yellow = area pedestrians are told not to enter
![Page 10: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Fencing is not parklike…
![Page 11: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Chain of Lakes and MLK - This fence went up July 28th and stayed up for weeks;
pedestrian gates were locked for days afterward.

OTHER ISSUES: TRUCKS TOOK OVER ½ OF OCEAN BEACH PARKING LOT FOR DAYS:
Lucky for beach-goers that the weather was foggy!
IDEA!
Use blocked-off section of
Sunset Blvd. at the Park for
truck parking.
![Page 14: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SOUTH EDGE OF PARK SUBJECT TO CROWDS AND EROSION:
Crowds descended from N Judah and trampled hillside and vegetation .
IDEA!
Better crowd control along southern
edge of the Park
![Page 15: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
THE GOOD NEWS:
Bike parking was much better. We saw NO bikes chained to trees !
![Page 16: Outside Lands Festival Yearly Report - August 15, 2013](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55cf2920bb61eba8668b45ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
THE GOOD NEWS:
Painstaking post-concert clean-up by volunteers group.

SUGGESTIONS
FENCES – GOOD FOR PLANTS, BAD FOR PARK USERS:
PUT OUTER FENCES UP CLOSER TO CONCERT DATE AND TAKE DOWN MORE QUICKLY AFTERWARDS!
TRUCKS – BAD FOR TREES: MAKE TREE ROOT PROTECTION A PRIORITY
OCEAN BEACH PARKING LOT IS IMPORTANT FOR BEACH-GOERS: USE SUNSET BLVD. FOR TRUCK PARKING
SOIL ON SLOPES ERODES EASILY –
PROTECT SOIL AND PLANTS AT SOUTHERN EDGE OF PARK!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ON THE BIKE PARKING AND CAREFUL CLEAN-UP!
