Enough already!

Yesterday when leaving the gallery, I noticed a yellow sign posted on the trees across the street.  



They are proposing:  Cutting 5 or more beautiful, full grown trees. 


 What?  Yes, cut 5 established trees...shade trees that add to the elegance of our street.



Trees are the lifeblood of the planet, trees produce oxygen, fight global warming, conserve water, maintain rain cycles that combats drought and fires, they shade and cool the earth, keep the dust down and they de-stress and relax us.  Trees are the softening of our streetscape and add beauty to our downtown...Come on, what are they thinking?



Call this number to find out more.   (503-361-2215)  Share this with others...Let's do something to keep this from happening.  
A meeting is planned for Wednesday, January 9th at 3:00 pm.  It's at Pringle Community Hall, 606 Church Street.  Please attend if you can.
