[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, the thing is, most of the trees they are cutting are trash trees. There, I said it. Invasive, trash Ailanthus are not worth getting in a lather about. And this language about "clear cutting" - trying to evoke some natural hellscape. It's re-landscaping 8 acres away from trashy non-native invasive species into meadows and fairways. I'm a staunch environmentalist, who normally things golf courses are terrible (too much water usage, too many chemicals), but the neglect of this course means hard measures have to be taken. [/quote] Except what you said isn’t true: [quote][i] The most common species surveyed are tuliptree, American beech, oak, and maple. Just about half of those trees, 49%, could be removed as part of the project. About 200 new native trees would be planted once the construction is complete[/i][/quote] [/quote] What are you quoting from?[/quote]
