Tree News….

They neglected to talk to the Urban Forester of Lexington like they were required to do.

Also…as an example -
There’s a legacy tree in Hopkins County KY on 41A where the road is being widened.
It is 100s of years old.
It will be cut down to create a straight road.

Many folks have brought it up to me, so it is worth mentioning.
It has been discussed to try to save the tree but no one seems to have the time.

And…
There were 3 legacy oaks that were removed so the road next to Popeyes could be created years ago. The aesthetics and shade those trees would have continued to create are invaluable.
I wrote a letter to the editor in The Messenger newspaper when it happened. The editor addressed the subject I brought up but there’s been no change.

Why does this have to continue?!
We can have the balance of a widened road with a beautiful tree, but that involves a change in attitude and costs money.

How about we start to change our perspective on what the true value is of something. And stop always making it monetary?

Legacy trees have seen events that are only in the history books.
Aren’t they worth preserving?

When we log a forest we keep the legacy trees. Their value is to show us where the property boundary may be located. And they provide a seed source and shade and a place for animals to live.

New developments need to have foresight into where, what and how they plant trees in parking lots and create green spaces.
You see families of geese and ducks using a small green patch of shade in the middle of Walmart parking lots.

Today people are constantly urged to go in nature for mental health and be near trees. We keep cutting the urban trees down or making tiny little green spaces in the middle of parking lots.
Our ancestors would shake their heads if they saw this happening because they understood the value and the time it takes to grow a magnificent creature - the tree.

Let us have the courage to change our perspectives and speak up about them 🙂

The city is rewriting its rules regarding tree protection to give it more options when developers remove trees.
