Re: “Skinned Trees No Mistake”

I'm immensely happy that Mayor Jones has finally budgeted some money into replacing urban trees, which have been disappearing from our landscape for many years.
TOO LONG we have budgeted only for removing trees that were dead/dying/fallen, and not budgeted anything toward replacing all the trees lost. Thank goodness we have a Mayor who has financially acknowledged, and acted upon, this situation.
While it's true that we can't put back the trees that were removed from this site, we CAN replace the environmental services lost by planting 3-5 small trees for each large tree taken down, which will provide equivalent active biomass, sometimes in as few as 5 years.
