Winter
Solstice in the Berkeley Memorial Stadium Oak Grove (06:35)
University of California at Berkeley,December 21, 2006
Tonight as the rain began to fall, nearly three dozen residents,
with candles and umbrellas in hand, gathered at the endangered
Oak Grove to celebrate Winter Solstice. The group sang songs
and offered words of encouragement to the four urban tree sitters
suspended in the branches above. The Berkeley tree vigil is
in its 20th day and is certain to continue into the new year.
