The oaks are dying


There has been a dieoff among some of the Chapman oaks in the north tract. From what research I've done online and checking with another land manager, the problem is probably drought-related and aggravated by the lack of fire that has allowed everything to be overgrown so there's not enough for everyone. I began noticing the stress a few months ago, but it's hard to ignore now.
