I learned last week the orange paint spot on seemingly healthy trees planted in the public right of way have been personally tagged by the Mayor for removal. I find it disturbing that the Mayor continues to exercise an uneducated approach to manage our heritage trees (see the nuclear option on West St near the Elem School from Summer 2012) I wish a committee of more than one person got to weigh in on the removal of any tree.
We continue to plant too few, remove too many; maintaining a disproportionately old tree canopy. In so doing, we risk a devastating loss of the trees we (at least I) hold dear. A generation from now, Mariemont residents will have only pictures of the vistas we enjoy today.
