Level Crosssing Removal Authority want to use the U-Trough methodology which will require larger cranes and the destruction of 113 trees, when Super T-Beams could be used with much smaller cranes enabling many more trees to be retained.

Trees in Baguio City (dubbed as the Philippines’ City of Pines) are being desecrated to give way to concrete pavements at an alarming rate.
Malls, subdivisions and other concrete structures are being built to “encourage” tourism. Business owners tend to forget that people visit the City of Pines for the cool weather, clean environment, scenic mountain views, and pine-scented air. Soon Baguio’s natural charm will just be a shadow from the past.
Which reminds me, whatever happened to the protests against the cutting of Pine Trees to give way for a parking space widening near the popular mall?

Lasciamo che gli alberi crescano ovunque ... e proteggiamoli dall'insensatezza umana!

Sulla torre (alta 44.25 metri) e' stato creato un piccolo giardino di Lecci.
Let's help trees grow everywhere ... and protect them from the human stupidity!

If you don;t know what you're looking at this might seem like a wooded area with big trees.But these trees are elders that still stand on their original soil.
They are very large for this area. I measured a cherry tree at nearly 4 ft diameter at breast height (DBH). While I don't think these trees are primeval old-growth trees they are certainly big and tall. They reside on a sharp ridge where it would have been impossible to farm and not that convenient to access. and so they have been left to grow on their own gaining the great heights and monstrous girths of the original trees of the North American continent. While there are some fat trees around, the real tell here is the height. The trees don't even branch out until they are nearly 100 feet tall. The biggest ones up here are Oaks and Cherries. A few big hemlocks can be seen but the biggest trees are deciduous ones.
Trees that grow without the competition of the the forest tend to grow out into big wide, but low canopies. Wild trees grow straight up before the branch as this part of the tree only serves as a tower to raise the leafy part up high enough to maximize the food and energy it gets from photosynthesis. A leaf is just a photocell that converts CO2 into sugar, using solar power.
Anyway I want to stop and commune with these trees because their sense of time is so much wider than ours. I estimate the biggest are 200 years old. Humans are but a blip, albeit a destructive one, on their lives. They are magnificent creatures that deserve far more reverence. And despite the advent of recycled paper and plantation wood, the number of trees overall is declining. Every housing development and shopping mall takes out more trees. We are as wasteful as our forebearers and our lives are to short to see the long term necessity of trees...and not grass and asphalts.
I believe every inch of median strip and every yard (and yes you's get leaves in your gutter - DEAL WITH IT) should be reforested.

In ABCs and 123s: B is for bat
So...I'm admiring my cherry tree...and the cherries that are the most fabulous shade of pink and I focus for a moment on the leaves - which have been covered with spots and what do I find, but the most wretched slug-like creatures ALL OVER MY TREE'S LEAVES!!!!! I rushed a leaf to my local nursery and they told me they're pear slugs (a fly larvae)...so I got some insecticidal soap and first thing in the morning I'm committing pear slug murder with a great big smile on my face! Luckily, the cherries will be unharmed. whew!

Like many people during quarantine I have tried to get outside at least once a day. My morning path has had me walking past this tree almost daily. As this tree is in my neighborhood I have also lived just a block away from it for most of my life. It wasn’t until taking this class however that I noticed some interesting ecological themes present. I believe this is a Holly tree, but it has two types of vines growing on it. The first is Ivy, which has completely wrapped itself around the trunk and much of the lower branches. I am unclear about the identity of the second vine, but it is only growing on the top portion of the tree. Other than the fact it is being constricted by these vines, the tree is very healthy and also serves as a home for many birds during the spring and early fall. What I find really interesting about these birds is that as I walk up to the tree I can hear them chirping quite loudly, but as soon as I get underneath the tree the noise ceases almost immediately. Our class focused on predator-prey relationships and that is exactly what I would classify this observed phenomenon as. They perceive me and any other passer bys as possible predators and stop their chirping to hide themselves.
These birds are a perfect example of why we need to promote SDG #15: Life on Land. This SDG focuses on preserving forests and trees in general as a way to stop desertification, land degradation, and biodiversity loss. There have been several large scale movements that promote the reforestation of land as part of the global climate change effort, but I think it is also important to think about the small scale too. Recently many of the trees in my neighborhood have been cut down because they are getting old and could fall on roofs or their roots have torn up the sidewalks or simply because people don’t want to rake up leaves. I am always sad to see them go. Not only do they provide basic services of taking in carbon and giving off oxygen, but they also provide shade, aesthetic views and of course shelter for tree dwelling animals. Trees are important sources of biodiversity and in some parts of the world forests are the main food source for the population. Urbanization will continue and trees may be cut down, but I think a good practice that developers should adopt is to replace those cut trees with new plantings in order to help preserve the biodiversity and broader ecosystem of the area.

This is a patch of private property owned by the Seattle Times newspaper (their parent owner). Currently these beautiful mature evergreen trees are scheduled to be cut down to make way for a 2-block underground parking and above ground podium in a new development. This patch of park and irreplaceable trees can and must be saved, and allow the new development at the same time.
