Any takers. Let me know. Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ying Dong <yingburkedong(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jul 22, 2024 at 11:24 AM Subject: gardenia To: raryals <raryals(a)gmail.com> Ruth, can you forward this mail to our neighborhood email? Thanks! --------- Dear neighbors, This is a long shot. But I have a pot of gardenia and wonder if anyone wants to take it. Gardenia has one of the most lovely flowers, but it demands lots of care. I will be away for a while. If anyone is interested in taking it, please let me know. Thanks. Ying [image: IMG_8001.JPG]

Fwd: [trees] NY Times: "‘My Property, My Trees’: New Tree-Cutting Law Divides N.Y. Town"

Ruth Ryals raryals(a)gmail.com ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Charles Teague <charles.d.teague(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Jul 21, 2024 at 3:49 PM Subject: [trees] NY Times: "‘My Property, My Trees’: New Tree-Cutting Law Divides N.Y. Town" Folks, Cambridge's goal was (and plan is *not *implemented) to get back to 30% canopy coverage by 2070. Advocates below are in court when they still have 41% coverage because they already see increases in electrical use from losing 7% of their canopy. Over a similar time, Cambridge lost 18%. These suburban advocates understand: - older trees supply the cooling and carbon extraction & storage benefits - it is impossible to plant the hundreds of young trees needed to replace an older tree excerpts: “*It’s just a regulated way of cutting down trees*,” said Andrea Hirsch, a local lawyer who is representing a group of tree advocates to challenge the new law in court. ... Across Westchester, tree canopy cover — the amount of foliage and branches that shade the ground — is in decline ... As of 2021, canopy cover in Mamaroneck had retreated to around 41 percent of the town’s land area, a concerning loss of about *7 percent since 2011*, Dr. Reinmann said. ... “As tree canopy cover declines, you can see tangible increases in local temperatures and an increased reliance on electricity for cooling homes and buildings,” he said. Trees provide shade, intercept rainfall and release moisture <https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/02/climate/trees-cities-heat-waves.html> back into the air. ... The new tree law came about because the town’s environmental advisory group had become concerned about *the rising number of felled trees coinciding with rising temperatures and floods.* ... But when the board passed the new law unanimously, there was an outcry from the tree advocates. They argued that the new measure had made it too easy to remove trees and its annual limits were too generous, *while older trees, which have a * *powerful effect <https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/how-old-trees-help-climate-1.4252888> on the environment, had lost some protections.* .. replacing an old tree with four new ones isn’t an equal exchange. *Producing as much oxygen as a 100-year-old tree that has been cut down — with its carbon storage capacity and extensive crown and root system — would require hundreds of young trees*, he said. ... Mr. Buddingh’ would like trees to be viewed as valuable resources to be protected and regulated, like air, he said. “They should be on an asset list and not on an expenditure list,” he said. read the entire article here https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/18/nyregion/tree-law-mamaroneck-westchester… or see attached PDF Charles Teague, "be informed, check Cambridge Day.com every
