By NANCY FREEDMAN| The San Vicente Coral Trees, which are a designated Los Angeles Cultural Monument, must be trimmed at this time every year due to their fragile nature. A campaign to raise money for an annual $30,000 trimming is currently taking place.
Co-Chairs Mary Ann Lewis and Jim Thomas have been devoted for decades in this endeavor. The City provides no service, so it is up to our good community to raise the funds.
A Coral Tree Endowment Fund is also being built with hopes that in time, there will be sufficient money to self-sustain the trees. As some trees fall, new ones are planted which provides a canopy that is consistent with various ages of the trees.
