Largest Tree Rescue in the Country Saving Nearly 600 Trees 

IRVINE, Calif., June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- 

    WHO:    Tom Larson, Chief Consultant, Landscape and Farming, Orange
            County Great Park Corporation

    WHAT:   Great Park Tree Rescue:   The first five of nearly 600 trees to be
            rescued, from both the Lennar Corporation and GreatParksites, are
            being carefully moved and replanted in the lawn area near the
            GreatParkBalloon. The five trees are 40-year old large elm trees
            currently located near an old fire station located on the base.

            Each tree weights between nine to fifteen tons each.  The rescued
            trees will be transported on heavy-duty trailers and lifted with
            large hydraulic cranes.

            The Lennar Corporation and GreatPark's planned 600 tree-rescue is
            the largest tree rescue of its kind in the country.

            Media is invited to attend and photograph the event.
