Please do everything you can to stop these trees from getting cut down. Prune them so they are not so top-heavy. I thought Santa Monica was known as the “City of Trees.” Why do these people who couldn’t care less about Santa Monica always get their way?
These trees are part of Santa Monica. I would fathom a guess and say that somebody making a little cash here is the real reason they are so determined to cut them down.
What most disturbed me in your article today (“Ficus fiasco continues,” Aug. 14) is that they plan to use diseased trees in the compost. Does anybody know what they are doing here?
