Protecting Yonkers' Green Canopy

A growing number of citizens in Yonkers and across Westchester are speaking out about the wholesale cutting of trees by Con Ed and other entities such as the State Department of Transportation. Citizens are starting to organize to oppose this destruction and demand common sense management of our green canopy. Check out Peter Harrises' photos of tree cutting by the state DOT this past week http://deedsandleases.com/2010/01/12/the-daily-ramble-first-con-ed-now-the-city-of-yonkers-rips-down-trees-with-no-notice-to-residents/.
