Tax Payers Trees Destroyed
Hi All,
I was driving down Shepard Road yesterday and I observed the majority of young trees that have been planted along the road side are damaged at the base from weed whipping.
Some, will surely die. Others will be susceptible to insects and storms as they grow.
It just seems like a waste of tax payers money to purchase, plant and then destroy these trees.Then there is also the added cost to clean the fallen trees up.
What do you think?

Another note. I know it seems like a softball subject and we usually don't have soft subjects here. However, I started looking at all these trees and have come to see what a big lose in tax dollars this really is.
Looks like the same "weed whipping" received by landlords and their tenants! Weed, weeds, what is the purpose of weeds? They are our destiny that life is not all roses. They keep us from becoming arrogant and cockey. They keep us grounded and from becoming so self-sufficient that we forget to rely on or to help others. And I was wondering why the city of st paul doesn't like weeds.
I think they should be training these workers how to use a weed whip.
If they cut through the bark all the way around the tree, it's DEAD!
I don't think they use a weed whip on the trees. a mower is probably rubbing the bark off.
