I have been informed of plans to remove a planting of native trees designed to be critical riparian buffer in Schmalz Farm Park. This is an ecologically unsound decision, and is extremely wasteful as many of these trees may not survive being transplanted twice in such a short amount of time. It's been made clear to me that this decision was made at the behest of a single constituent who called in a personal favor to the deputy mayor. I believe this is undemocratic and nepotistic, and prioritizes the aesthetic goals of a single individual ocert the public benefit of this planting, which will help protect Jackson Creek from runoff and floods which threaten fish and amphibians downstream. I would urge the city to listen to the voices of all constituents, not just those with personal connections to politicians, and to act in the best interest of not just your constituents but also the environment, and allow the planting to remain. There is no shortage of fields for re-creating at this park and at many parks nearby, but few areas for the city to invest in urban greenspace with benefits for humans and nonhumans alike.

Can't reply by email. So: will the table be secured---bolted to the concrete pad, maybe---when it is returned?

Someone has removed all the screws from the bench that is in southern corner of park. It is now a hazard because you can get a finger caught in between.

Tree of Heaven is an invasive species and I found one for the first time this summer growing up in my back yard (Lakewood Ct). My back yard backs up onto Dunn St and I realized it mostly likely spread from a few that are growing quite large just across Dunn Street in Griffy nature preserve. I would appreciate if the city could take the necessary measures to remove/kill the plants that are across from my yard so they don't spread any further into the woods in my yard or other houses in Blue Ridge neighborhood. Thank you
