Cull Pedro Point headlands, give a "tree" a Christmas

Pacifica Land Trust event takes place Sunday, November 26, 2012, 10 AM to 2 PM.

Charlie Brown does not come with the tree

San Mateo County Times/Aaron Kinney, 11/23/12.  "Find your Charlie Brown tree in Pacifica."

"PACIFICA -- Fans of Charles Schulz can pay homage to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on Sunday by hiking a windswept promontory overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacifica Land Trust is holding its third annual Christmas tree hunt at the Pedro Point Headlands. The event lends quirky holiday cheer to an environmental project: removing young non-native Monterey pines from the headlands, which volunteers are restoring to native coastal scrub. The spindly evergreens resemble Charlie Brown's droopy little tree from the "Peanuts" holiday classic. 

The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday. Visitors are asked to arrive no later than 1:30 p.m. at the parking lot outside Castle Kitchen & Bath at 520 San Pedro Ave. Warm clothes and sturdy shoes are recommended."   Read article.
