My grandfather worked at the arboretum and cared for it. When he died the arboretum honored him with a tree. Now the city wants to build a water treatment plant next to his tree and destroy the Australian section which has trees over 100 years old. Some trees in the Australian section you can’t find them anywhere else outside Australia

My grandfather was really kind and caring and I loved him a lot. He would never let someone hurt nature like this. Please don’t let the city destroy a beautiful landscape. It would mean the world to my family.
