Our lovely Great Oak Tree in front of Genjoji's Sangha House is diseased and now beyond saving. It is time to bid farewell to this dear old friend; this great and majestic sentinel that has protected the grounds and visitors of our Temple for a very long time. Arborist and former SMZC resident work-leader, Jon Kaiten Perry, will travel from Hawaii to lead the tree removal work team from April 11-15, 2022.
