For those of you wondering why we shouldn't sacrifice our trees to "protect" trees in the outer suburbs, take a look.

Hey @ArlingtonVA! You like to be trendy. Here's one that's too good to miss. @arlparksrec @ArlingtonDES We're looking at you too! #arlingtonVA #MoreTreesPlease
US Cities Are Preparing for a Massive Tree Planting in 2023.
“The pressure is on, but in a good way,” “This is a once-in-a-career opportunity for urban forestry, and how we use it is going to impact those who are in our positions 50 years from now.”

Did you know a builder needs to provide only 20% of tree canopy for any single family home project even even if they clear the lot? 20% lot coverage is not sufficient to sustain Arlington's tree canopy. @ArlingtonVA this has to stop! #MoreTreesPlease

.@ArlTreeAction briefed the County Board Feb 12 about better enforcement of rules, and tweaks to the rules, that would save more trees during "by-right" construction, which is depleting the 61% of our tree canopy. arlingtontreeactiongroup.org…

We need a new canopy survey, we need higher canopy replacement rules for both single and multi-family areas, we need tweaks to zoning setbacks and lot coverage and stormwater rules. Weigh in with the County Board and your delegates in Richmond! #MoreTreesPlease

@ArlTreeAction will be speaking to the County Board, around 8:35 am tomorrow, Feb 12, to urge action to preserve more trees during residential construction projects. Construction and development are causing rapid loss of mature canopy. Come support ATAG and trees!
Come support ATAG at the County Board Meeting 8:30 AM on Saturday, Feb 12. Our topic: excessive tree on construction project sites county-wide. Stand with us and let the Board know there is broad support for change!

Want to preserve Arlington's tree canopy? @VaDOT wants to "improve" turning lanes on Rt 50 and Filmore at a cost of 18 trees, 1.6 acres of permeable land, $29 million. @susmoarlington has suggested feedback: bit.ly/3tnQlVB Online comment form: bit.ly/3eYIJUw
This project kills me, @VaDOTNOVA @VaDOT.
Turn lanes could be created using existing pavement NOW, saving 18 trees (heads up @ArlTreeAction), 1.6 acres of permeable land, $29M, and dozens of lives.
Not a smart project. Please rethink.
