In addition to the certified arborist's report, we now have photos of all the trees marked for removal, so you can judge for yourself whether they are aging, diseased or dying. In most of the pictures, these 20-25 year old trees are flanked by mature 100-year-old trees and new transplanted ones. Remember, every new tree marks a spot where an "aging" 20-year-old tree was removed.
In contrast, here are two trees in Heller Park next to the recreation center which ARE an immediate threat. The dangling 2ft log swings in the wind, so we would recommend not letting your kids sit under it. Mr. Perkins, if you're so eager to swing that ax, we suggest you first finish the job here.

None of the photographs were altered or corrected in any way. They are straight from the camera and in full resolution. Zoom in for further detail.
This is ridiculous. No reputable arborist would remove those trees, with the exception of two that have squirrel damage (I've had to hire many tree men in the private sector.) This makes no sense, and I'm even more sickened by the sight of the trees they replaced them with - those are cheap and pathetic.
I simply don't understand why they're so eager to cut down so many perfectly healthy trees. If there was really a good reason for it, one would think they could be up front about it to the community.
