Two large Torrey Pines were recently cut down at the Solana Beach CDC preschool

“Tree Trimming” Season Continues at Local School

12/30/09 - The corner of Cliff and Rios is a special place in Solana Beach. This is where thousands of locals come to enjoy activities at the Child Development Center (CDC) preschool and playground.

It’s also a property that's graced by eight stately Torrey Pine trees. Until last week, there were 10 trees. Two of them had to be removed because they posed a risk to the CDC students and buildings.

According to the Solana Beach School District, “Recently, a limb of over 14” in diameter fell from one of the trees into the preschool playground area between two classroom buildings. Fortunately, this occurred when children were not present. The District immediately closed the area and had the trees inspected.”

While the trees were not found to be diseased, landscapers and arborists would not certify that the problem would not reoccur. The two problematic trees were also encroaching into building foundations and raising sidewalks.

Removal of the trees was scheduled for this week because students are not present between Christmas and New Years Day. The City of Solana Beach has no restrictions on the removal of trees that are located fully within private property.
