Cutting down more healthy, mature, street #trees is not the way to conserve, restore and grow our city's #UrbanForest or reverse the #canopy loss trend in #Cleveland
.
ALT 1 of 124 street trees cut down for a new cycle track along Cleveland's N Marginal Rd.
We documented 94 #trees cut down per project removal list for new cycle track on #Cleveland's N Marginal Rd. 30 more removed not on list. Plus 32 trees butchered but left standing. See below. This is not how you protect your #TreeCanopy or reduce #CarbonEmissions. @CLEMayorsOffice @chrisronayne @CuyahogaCounty @clevemetroparks @NOACA_MPO @USDOTFHWA
We are at the Partners in Community Forestry 2024 Conference in #Chicago. A city that planted 50,000 trees just this year.
#Cleveland is not even close to Chicago’s planting efforts. It can and must do better. It’s time to fund, grow and protect our city’s #TreeCanopy too. #PCF2024 @arborday @CLEMayorsOffice @Griff4CLE6
Thank you @clevemetroparks @chrisronayne and especially @NOACA_MPO for providing public funds to kill over 100 mature street trees along #Cleveland's North Marginal Rd to build a bike path. And $ZERO public dollars to plant new trees. #Greenwashing #ClimateInjustice #DeforestCity @Bike_CLE @arborday @WEWS @fox8news

As the school year starts up again, we are highlighting resources from our library that can be of use! Our Benefits of Schoolyard Forests page includes a high level overview, a detailed description with references, and a health benefits specific resource!

(Mayor Bibb @CLEMayorsOffice's) approach to "promoting environmental justice" destroys city parks, like Cudell Commons, their #trees and #GreenSpace for development is NOT #EnvironmentalJustice #SaveCudellPark @JoeBiden @POTUS @EPA @EPAMichaelRegan @Griff4CLE6 @CLEMetroSchools @sustainableCLE

Thanks to funding from the Biden Administration and EPA, we're revitalizing Cleveland's waterfront, promoting environmental justice, and boosting tourism and business. Come visit and see the amazing North Coast in Cleveland!

(#ClimateMayorBibb @CLEMayorsOffice) @JustinMBibb @DrWarrenMorgan @CLEMetroSchools @ClimateMayors @theclimatereg Ever hear of the #TragedyOfTheCommons? Example. The short-term self interest of CMSD to pave over Cudell Commons Park w/a building & parking lot disregards the long term harm that causes to the environment and public health. online.hbs.edu/blog/post/tra…
The next generation gets a hotter planet. @CLEMetroSchools & (#MayorBibb/@CLEMayorsOffice) your plans to develop Cudell Commons Park, destroy its greenspace & trees contributes to a future w/more #urbanheat and that says you could care less. @ClimateMayors @theclimatereg
Here's some feedback. #SaveCudellPark This park should not be developed by @CLEMetroSchools to pave over with a building and parking. It belongs to the Cudell neighborhood. @CityofCleveland says this park and its #trees are "vacant land" & traded it away (with no public engagement) for two school properties that they then gave away for free to private developers.
Our parks and their trees are for everyone not for development schemes.

@UndauntedK12 More info here about Cleveland's plan to to destroy a park next to a school. change.org/p/save-historic-c…
#ArborDay Protecting Cleveland’s tree canopy starts with saving this bald cypress tree the @CityofCleveland & @CLEMetroSchools want to cut down in Cudell Commons Park to make room for a building and parking lot. @MayorBibb @Griff4CLE6 @nigamanths @jennyspencercle @DrWarrenMorgan
There is a lot of talk from @MayorBibb about #Cleveland becoming the “first #15MinuteCity in North America. While that may be a great aspiration Cleveland is already known as the #ForestCity. How about repairing our city’s tree canopy and aspiring to becoming a #TreeCityOfTheWorld too?
@sustainableCLE @CityofCleveland @CleveFoundation
Did you know?
There are 2⃣0⃣0⃣ Tree Cities of the World in 2⃣2⃣ countries that have successfully met 5⃣ core standards of urban forest management.

You can scratch off parks and reducing emissions.
Your @ClimateMayors Chair @MayorBibb
plans to destroy Cleveland's Cudell Commons Park & cut down its 40 mature trees to construct a @CLEMetroSchools building + additional parking lot.
Mayor @JustinMBibb's #15MinuteCity plan is to cut down "more"mature #Trees in #Parks -- Pushing Negative #Externalities - loss of shade - #HeatIslandEffect, #AirPollution and higher #Asthma rates - into neighborhoods like Cudell (which has one of the lowest tree canopy rates and highest asthma rates in Cleveland)

Our Chair @MayorBibb is working to make @CityofCleveland a 15-minute city where residents can easily access grocery stores, parks, & more while reducing emissions⏱️
Cleveland’s Planning Commission approved new zoning rules that will make this plan a reality. #EarthWeek
Thank you @DaveyTree @cavs You get it. While @MayorBibb & @CLEMetroSchools do not & proceed with their project to cut down 40 mature trees & eliminate the basketball courts at Cudell Commons Park for their new building & parking lot.

Happy #EarthDay! Davey's proud to partner with the @cavs for the #Trees4Threes program. Thank you #Cavs for shooting 582 three-pointers at home during the 2023-24 regular season. We're excited to plant 582 trees in Northeast Ohio! #LetEmKnow
Are you @MayorBibb going to act and do something now to protect Cudell Commons Park and its trees “for generations to come” or just talk? It’s time you be responsible and walk the talk.
change.org/p/save-historic-c…
Earth Day reminds us of our collective responsibility to protect our planet for generations to come. As Chair of @ClimateMayors, I’m focused on pushing for climate action in Cleveland and cities across the country. We can build a green economy that works for us all. 💪🏾
We checked! Cleveland's Cudell Commons Park & surrounding neighborhood's Tree Equity Score is only 77 It's about to drop further thanks to @MayorBibb's plan to destroy this park & cut down it's 40 mature trees to put a @CLEMetroSchools building there & a new parking lot.
Axing these trees pushes Negative #Externalities - loss of shade - #HeatIslandEffect, #AirPollution and higher #Asthma rates - into neighborhoods like Cudell (which has one of the lowest tree canopy rates and highest asthma rates in Cleveland) This is not #TreeEquity.

100 American cities have achieved Tree Equity by taking action to ensure every neighborhood has a passing #TreeEquity Score!

🌳Did you know trees in cities can lower stress & boost our hashtag#MentalHealth?
🌲Trees and urban forests can make our cities greener, healthier & happier places to live.
🌦They can also help us to fight the hashtag#ClimateCrisis.

Do the math @MayorBibb and @DrWarrenMorgan. The 40 trees you want to cut down at Cudell Commons Park for your building and parking lot provide a day’s worth of oxygen to 160 people. @Griff4CLE6 @jennyspencercle @joeonyourside
