Please do not continue with the proposed George Snyder Trail in Fairfax City. Our waterways and watersheds are already so degraded and imperiled, that we need to protect them more, not harm them more. The idea of building a trail through a riparian buffer goes against all research for improving water quality. I cannot imagine the destruction and irreparable harm this will cause to animals, plants, and soil in the area if it is constructed. Please do not build this trail. Especially since there is a viable, already impervious system of trails for transportation in place.
Rachel supported: Stop the destruction of woodlands in Fairfax City.For the 28 years we have lived in Mosby Woods, Fairfax City has been a lovely oasis in the DMV. Recently, partisan politics have upended the loveliness. After a number of stream renovations have been executed, the most recent effort is a total disaster. The soothing woods that welcomed residents and guests is now gone on one side. What a travesty. Over 500 mature tress gone forever. Who thought that was a good idea? Now, City Council is being pressured to make the other side a travesty ... removing over 600 mature trees, and more. There are existing, safe routes for cyclists and walkers already in place that do not required exorbitant spending and ecological devastation. This must not happen ... again.
Steve supported: Stop the destruction of woodlands in Fairfax City.Signature trees belong to signature places. They construct an identity to their locations and effect generations of people that enjoy their presence. Unlike the fluctuations of the built environment, you can’t simply put them back once they are moved.
Dave supported: Saving the old growth trees around Athens former VarsityThis has been going on for years. I’m so grateful to the organizers of this to protect these beautiful trees that make you say WOW when you come to this street in Marina del Rey. They are so memorable and bring so much shade and beauty. They should be protected!
Cristina supported: Stop the systematic destruction of half-century old Coral Trees in MDRIn Feb 2023, a NPR piece noted “California lost more than 36 million trees in the last year alone”. Beaches & Harbors should be doing everything in its power to save our mature trees, not to remove them -or find excuses to remove them - based on notions of (in)convenience.
As for the 2 New Zealand Christmas Trees that they touted as replacements for the 2 majestic story coral trees they felled in the fiasco that occurred a few years back, one immediately died (we locals have been looking at a dead sapling for 2 years now) and its anemic-looking twin has barely grown a few inches since it was planted. This is progress?
Ellen supported: Stop the systematic destruction of half-century old Coral Trees in MDRI used to live nextdoor to this tree. The former owner who recently passed away used to swing his young niece off of a low hanging branch in a baby swing. When she passed away years later as a young adult he preserved that branch as a memorial to his niece. I believe that branch is still there today if it has not been removed since the owner passed. This is a magnificent tree that was loved and protected for many years. It would be devastating if it was removed. Please do the right thing and save this magnificent tree. It is a symbol of love and meant so much to the former owner.
Megan supported: Prevent the Removal of the Green Lake Giant Sequoia TreeAs humans with short life spans we are simply passing through, we should be conscious of the natural world and should work to protect it as it is only possible for us to exist, because nature exists. Plants are not accessories or nuisances and should not be treated as such.
Alicia supported: Prevent the Removal of the Green Lake Giant Sequoia TreePlease! Do not let anyone, especially someone from outside the area, come in and create wreckage. By removing these historic trees they will destroy part of the local environment that will be gone forever...for what?? A single family home that can be reconfigured to keep the trees. If you don't want trees, then buy a property without them!
Maria supported: Prevent the Removal of the Green Lake Giant Sequoia TreeJust think of all the generations of Seattleites this tree has presided over. Giants like this are irreplaceable so let’s save the ones we have!
