Petition to Save McLean Tree Canopy

I don't fully understand what the county's rules are on this topic, but I believe they should be followed by infill developers and policed by the county in an appropriate way, like any other valid land use restriction. But this isn't a planned suburb with restrictive deed covenants, and I don't seek to make it into one -- let's stick to the applicable legal restrictions. Thank you!

Sadly, we are losing the unique characteristic which made our neighborhood so welcoming and livable.

I applaud the citizenry of the petition drivers and signatories in calling for enforcement of standing guidelines intended to safeguard the long-standing character and identity of Chesterbrook Woods. I further add my name to the call for greater authority of the county to protect the tree canopy now and in the future. I will be pleased to contribute efforts and action as well.

Limit the size of rebuilding to be proportionate to the lot so that there are room for trees.

Thanks to the committee for their persistence on this issue. Let's save our trees!

I applaud and thank the members of this committee for tackling this key problem.

We have lived in Chesterbrook Woods for 18 years. It is deplorable to see trees cut down at an increase rate now. The neighborhood is loosing one of it main appeals

Yes this issue is important for our household

It really aggravates me when lots are clear cut by all the developers which is against Faifax County law to start with but they are never fined the law is not enforced. We have lost large amount of our canopy in the neighborhood despite previous protests.

We have lived in Chesterbrook WOODS for 40 years and are so sad to see our beautiful trees needless cut down. Thanks to the dedicated committee..

We live in a beautiful neighborhood that has many beautiful trees that are being taken down by developers when they build new homes. It would be so easy to work around the old trees that are so necessary for healthy living.

Please save our delightful trees.

Totally agree with the petition - let us know how we can influence county leaders.

Thanks to the committee for their work on this issue.

Thanks for starting this petition. Let's keep our beautiful trees!

Thank you to the Commitee for their work and diligence on this important issue to the community. We are stewards caring for precious resources for future generations.

Totally agree -- Our trees are our treasure.

We strongly believe the future of Fairfax is in fact at stakes here, and fully support the efforts of the CWCAenvironmental committee.

It was the magic of its unspoiled natural beauty that brought and kept so many of us in Chesterbrook Woods. We need to preserve it for generations to come.

Trees need to be spared. It is the distinguising feature of our neighborhood
