Trees, glorious trees
I meant to post this piece I produced on trees for WABE (90.1) last week, but got busy.
As you’ll soon hear, Atlanta is losing its stable of tall, historic, shade trees at a rapid clip. As Greg Levine of Trees Atlanta says, the culprits are many: drought, heavy rains, new infrastructure including new sewers, etc.
Sure, lots of us are planting trees in our yards and along the medians. But often residents are planting small, flowering varieties that won’t give us the same shade canopy that has made so many Atlanta neighborhoods such lovely spots.
Please take a listen when you have a chance.
