We have lost so many big, precious trees to storms and pests…. Old growth trees cannot be replaced in our lifetime and are what makes this community beautiful. They mute urban noise and cool down the neighborhood.

Climate change is already significantly impacting our communities and beyond, and is only worsening. Trees provide immense benefit to us (perhaps most importantly, the literal oxygen that we need to breathe!) and protecting/investing in the nature we have left is crucial. We must find solutions for development that don’t impact the natural ecosystems that we and other species rely on - it’s never been more important.

We have lost so many mature trees to disease. Chopping down a healthy tree is so wrong in so many ways.

This is just one of many evidence- based requests residents have made in continuous efforts to persuade the village to work with us for a consensus-driven plan but so far to no avail. I hold local demicracy dear and constituents need to be heard and included.

I support maintaining the mature trees and maintaining the character of the neighborhood.

Trees are important environmentally, but also for health, aesthetics, community and real estate values. It's why River Forest is designated a Tree City and why we created zoning laws.

With so much heavy industry around us, having large mature trees to help keep our clean is important

The plan is flawed on so many levels, let alone the beautiful trees

Mature trees are hard to replace. Let’s find a way to incorporate them into the bldg design. Green space is so important.

I love trees. They should not be chopped down.

When climate is so unpredictable with extreme heat, smoke, cold, etc, trees are our best chance of reducing the climate impact. We need to preserve every mature tree as possible.

Because mature trees live in my community and I live next door overlooking the Lake and Lathrop debacle. I think the Board makes terrible decisions.

The developer is not saving any green space and the pine tree and the large tree keep character and nature instead of just cement structures.

Mature trees are one of the defining aspects of River Forest. We already lose trees due to pests, disease, and weather. The idea that we would remove healthy mature trees for development is incredibly disheartening and should be avoided at all costs. There must be an alternative!
