October 27, 2012Treegate Day 127
October 26, 2012National Development said they took down “2-3″ tree illegally. Here is a Google map view with the state owned land in yellow. Along the street it is approximately 320 feet. If you go to Google Street view and walk down the street there are over 25 large trees that were illegally removed. Amazing how the press continues to report what the developer tells them.
