I understand that the Santa Monica City Council is in the process of deciding whether to remove 75 trees in the downtown district. Please act now to save these beautiful trees. This action cannot be undone. These trees are among the most beautiful and unique things about Santa Monica; and without those mature trees, our downtown will just be more cement and glass.
It’ll look like every other urban place with little respect or overt reverence to nature.
