Other: A question about memorial trees. I just noticed this London plane tree planted not far from the stump of a sycamore. I am curious why a non-native tree was chosen, instead of a native sycamore. I urge you to plant native trees in our park and tree plots, for various reasons including avoiding a repeat of those Callery pears,adjacent to the tennis courts, planted and then cut down later when we learned better. There are so many Callery trees along the B-Line that, I assume, will have to be cut down and replaced

The London plane tree is the only permitted tree we plant that is non-native, and we've planted maybe a handful of them in the past 5 years, the other 3000+ trees have all been native species. If you could submit U-reports or email me directly for the callery pears along the B-line with addresses, we will look into have those removed and replanted, as we've already removed and replanted several along the b-line. Thank you.
