http://wtnh.com/2016/07/28/invasive-beetle-killing-trees-in-new-haven/ The question now is, what is the replacement plan? A bunch of the trees along Hughes Place are due to be cut down also, which is pretty sad because of how beautiful the trees make that little street.
I'd hope this is already in the works.
The Parks Department will be working with Yale's Urban Resources Initiative to plant replacement trees within the next calendar year (per LCI Specialist Carmen Mendez's August 2016 newsletter for the Downtown/Wooster Square neighborhood).
Hope they don't have similar plans for Wooster Square Park. Cut everything down and in a year or so plant saplings so our great grandchildren can enjoy the shade.
All of the trees on Artizan Street were infected with Emerald ash Borer. (There has been news coverage on this, deadly to ash trees, insect.) The important thing is replanting street trees.
We need as citizens and taxpayer to make sure that there are adequate funds to replace dead and dying trees and to care for living and struggling street trees.
The trees on Hughs Place that are being removes are dead. They will certainly be replace with similar cherry tress. Replacing old dead trees is happening because of the commitments of neighbors.
Donate to Urban Resources Imitative. See http://environment.yale.edu/uri/ Donate to the Parks Commission or Wooster Square Conservancy and be sure that our taxes are being spent the way we as citizens think they should be spent.
