NEIGHBORS PITCH IN TO KEEP BAYWOOD BEAUTIFUL!
"It takes neighbors to raise a neighborhood!"
Inspired by the traditional African proverb, "It takes a village to raise a child," we are continually surprised and pleased by the efforts that individual Baywood neighbors take to help keep Baywood looking its best. Our latest shout out goes to Kim Randick and Duke Williams who are the unofficial "keepers" of the island at the intersection of Kentucky and Nevada. The City of San Mateo recently planted a young live oak on the island to replace one that had died. Young trees need a lot of water. Kim and Duke volunteered and are doing a great job nurturing the young tree, as well as weeding the island. BOIA provided them with a City-approved bucket to promote deep root watering. We hope Baywood residents will enjoy the tree and the island for years to come. Thanks, Kim and Duke!
