Off topic - but does anyone know anything about the process involved with the city deciding to cut down trees, especially old-growth oak trees, along streets and how to get involved?
DC has a department of Urban Forestry that I believe makes the decisions regarding cutting down public space trees. Typically they only cut down old trees if they are diseased or if they are unstable. A lot of the planter boxes are too shallow for large trees, which is why so many fall down after heavy winds.
Guys, please be polite. Remember that these people are your neighbors. I ask also that anonymous users leave some kind of tag [e.g. big green cat] for the sake of being able to follow a thread. Be respectful and have fun.
