Powerful Marianne. Thank you for writing this empathic piece. "Do trees cry, one wonders." "Do trees scream? As their roots are slashed and their branches hacked. As their bark is stripped, and their tops lopped. Do they scream?" Potent passages. Yes, I believe they do. "Do trees dream?" I hope they do. Wow! Powerful Marianne.

“Do trees cry, one wonders.”

“Do trees scream? As their roots are slashed and their branches hacked. As their bark is stripped, and their tops lopped. Do they scream?”

Potent passages.

Yes, I believe they do.

“Do trees dream?”

I hope they do.

In this story you show that humans do have an astonishing capacity to leap the boundaries our own minds have created! This is what I believe we are all called upon to do if we are too survive on this Earth. Thanks so much for your breathtaking act of compassion and empathy.

Probably the biggest thing we can all do is let DPW and the county supervisors know what we think. They will just go along doing what is easiest unless we force them to do things differently.

This is a great blog. You should try to get on that commission or task force. The fact that they have not invited any environmentalists is because they do not wish to go in the direction of saving the trees. It is less cost to them and perhaps someone else is making money off of plowing them under?? I'd like to see what they would do if a million people just stopped paying their bills in protest. If they had had any foresight in the first place their would not be this situation, but again have to look forward from here. You are doing a good job. I wish I could have come yesterday, but I will to the next meeting and will surely contact representatives to let them know how I feel. Heard you spoke yesterday? Debbie Thank you Marianne.
