Vandals uproot 60 new trees along St. Paul riverfront, costing city $40,000
“I’m incredibly sad. It’s hard to fathom,” said Karen Zumach, the director of community forestry for Tree Trust, which planted the trees with the help of high school students in October.
If they were Bradford pears they deserved tolbe removed.
The trees were a variety of species and were meant to replace a large swath of ash trees that were professionally removed earlier this year, Zumach said. The saplings stood about five to seven feet tall and weighed up to 30 pounds.
That's a lot of work just to kill or steal some trees.
Poor trees :(
This is just sad and a dick move
Terribly unfunny, and a total waste of time, money, and effort for nothing. Plus it would've required a whole squad to uproot 60 trees in one night.
The only way I'm excusing this is if the city planted those semen trees
