.@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…

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.

Trees can't bundle up like we can, but they sure do a lot of work to keep themselves functioning when cold winter weather comes through! From dropping their leaves in the fall, to stopping their growth on a cellular level to save energy, trees are winter warriors!

Some of Edinburgh's lovely new street trees are looking quite thirsty.
They can't go to the pub either, so if you could give them a drink that would be great.
Some cool clean tap water, will keep them alive in this dry weather.
Thank you 🌳💚👏 #TreesOfEdinburgh
