Here’s a video shot by K9VidBlog, showing the ceremony today in the Music Concourse of Golden Gate Park. Chase Freedom donated $30,000 to replace the seventeen elm trees that were cut down by a vandal last summer; replanting began today. The trees are being replaced with sycamores.

Supervisor Eric Mar was in attendance, along with representatives from Chase, the Recreation & Parks Department and San Francisco Parks Trust. If you ever wanted to see city officials shoveling something, this is your chance.
