Speaking of tree removal, more massacres planned
Years ago, one of my sisters-in-law and I used to get incredulous about all the tree removal in the county, we used to joke, but not happily, that every piece of greenery in the county is being removed for development. The one saving grace seemed to be Coconut Grove, but these days, we seem to be living in the bizarro world with all of the tree removal projects planned.
This was sent out by public works yesterday, it appears that some sort of tree removal is planned for a property on Royal Road, which involves the removal of 323 trees!
Coconut Grove's TreeWatch is looking into this. It appears to be in the right of way, yet it is near the Ransom campus and also near a private estate. They are believed to be Australian Pines, so there doesn't seem to be much anyone can do since they are considered an invasive species. The estate is apparently clearing the trees so they can see the bay. Something like they did along the Rickenbacker Causeway. Here's the notice.
