Subject:Save the Oak
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
As a horticulturalist, mature trees are more than just beautiful. They cool our streets, clean our air and provide
habitat for wild ones. Please let us save our mature trees in our city. I’m thinking not only of the oak that
stands where the new performing arts center is scheduled to be built, but also our mature ficus trees that line
the downtown streets. The air is 10 degrees cooler beneath these trees on the sidewalk below their beautiful
rich canopy.
Please reconsider your decisions to have any of these mature beauties removed.
Thank you,
Josephine Laing
