We need to protect our oldest trees in Arlington. We are becoming a sterile wasteland of concrete and asphalt.

Please consider saving such an ancient tree and give it the space for its roots to survive. This tree should be registered as one of the oldest living species of its kind in the region. A certified arborist can provide you the proper information for constructing near a relic of a tree as this.

When I used to walk to the Safeway on Harrison St. I always walked down 27th just to walk past that beautiful tree.

Trees help us in so many ways. Arlington developers cut so many magnificent mature trees down only to replace them with baby trees. The replacements can...in no way...replace what the mature magnificent trees give...shade, wind protection, color in the Fall, and OXYGEN to the humans in this small area of the earth. Save the tree. It is the least you can do for the thousands butchered by developers every year!

I hope the entire county board is taken to see the tree and then look at the developer's plans. They seldom know about trees, at least from my experience.

Cutting down a 200-year-old tree that is thriving for the convenience of a builder is just wrong. It reminds of vandals cutting off pieces of Methuselah, the nearly 5,000-year-old Bristlecone Pine Tree in California.

Anything that has survived for 200 years in this environment deserves to be protected. Why would anyone destroy a valuable piece of nature, especially in service of what may turn out to be another eyesore.
