[Green] Call or email the mayor: ask to protect this tree

[Rebecca Phillips]

Do we know what the tree commission recommends? It is always good if we can offer a positive alternative.

Subject: [Green] Call or email the mayor: ask to protect this tree

Dear Green friends who are Marietta residents,

Roger Kalter asked me to ask you to contact Mayor Schlicher about protecting the pin oak on Phillips Street at Sheridan in Norwood. It’s big, it’s old, it’s dropping limbs  and damaging the sidewalk, but it’s healthy, and provides shade and habitat. Two of its neighbors want it cut; other neighbors are clueless about it. Roger is working with the Tree Commission. Cutting this tree will cost an estimated $14K, Roger said (?!?), and the city is cash-strapped. Is this really a good use of our tax dollars.

jschlicher at mariettaoh.net<mailto:jschlicher at mariettaoh.net> or 740-373-1387

In my experience, the mayor is very responsive to polite email.

Thanks!  —dawn
