There will be no poetic licence for a Wortley Village woman who hoped to bring joy to her neighbourhood by posting poetry on a young maple at the foot of her front lawn.

Christine Montgomerys Poet Tree adorned with a display case for the poems had been there two weeks when she returned home to find it empty.

The sheet of paper with A Silly Poem by Spike Milligan was left in her mailbox, Please remove from city tree, scrawled across the bottom.

Im so disappointed. Everybody who walked by would stop and read, said Montgomery, a librarian.

How can you not love it? she asked. Im only putting poems up to make people happy. Theyre not deep poems. I want to bring poetry to the people.

But a city forestry supervisor who has given Montgomery until next week to take her frame down says she must find another way to accomplish her mission.

You cant nail or fix anything to a tree, said Andy Beaton, with transportation and roadside operations. Shes damaged the tree. Shes put screws into the trunk of a tree.

The citys boulevard tree protection bylaw bans cutting down, defacing, trimming, pruning, destroying or injuring any tree on a boulevard.

I understand what shes doing with the poetry, but I just cant have it affixed to the tree, Beaton said. Trees are coming to the forefront in London.

Last summer, a city hall committee voted to spend $37.7 million to boost Londons tree canopy to 34% over the next 20 years.

SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

A Savannah neighborhood did it's best to keep a part of their community intact, but Wednesday was D-Day for a centuries old Oak.

The Victory Heights Community off of Skidaway Road rallied around their leafy friend until the end.

It took workers two days to take down what took three lifetimes to grow up, and like family, when you live with something all your life, it's difficult to let go.

"My dad grew up here, and showed me how to climb it," Terry Moore remembered.

Moore grew up here too, in the house his grandfather built.

"When this subdivision was originally built, it was just the tree and granddaddy's house and five others, and the rest was pasture," he said.

But in early October, the City of Savannah said the tree had to come down; the neighborhood association president got a second opinion from another arborist from the University of Georgia.

"We didn't like the big orange x, and I do like second opinions, so that arborist gave us a tree analysis and really good explanation on the health of the tree," said Felix Maher, Victory Heights Neighborhood Association President.

So with two arborists saying the tree was just too unhealthy, it became a safety issue, and since the tree was actually growing in the right of way, which is city property, it was a liability.

Tree talk dominated a meeting of the Edgartown board of selectmen Monday, as they reviewed three requests for shade tree removals.

In Edgartown, trees that stand within a public way cannot be removed without a hearing in front of the selectmen.

One hearing concerned a property at 96 South Summer street, where major renovations will bring the facade of the house to face the street.

Landscape architect Kristen Reimann presented her proposal, which would remove seven trees at the downtown property, and replace them with two to three American elms.

Most of them are either in fair or poor condition, Ms. Reimann explained of the trees slated to come down.

The trees form part of a vegetated screen that currently shields the house from the street, and selectmen said they wished to preserve the wooded character of the public way.

It would be nice to see a plan that would put back the canopy that is being removed, said selectman Michael Donaroma, who added that the trees obscure the wiring that hangs over the street.

He said replacing seven trees with three seemed weak to him. The tree group includes a sycamore maple, a Japanese maple, a weeping willow, an apple tree and a pair of American elms.

But Ms. Reimann said the planned renovations would include a street-facing porch, which makes planting shade trees in front undesirable.

It is going to be difficult to recreate whats there because we are changing essentially the facade of the house on the street, and the current house is set much further back, Ms. Reimann said. So it is going to be a change in the character, in the relationship of the house to the street.

Shade Tree Removal Occupies Edgartown Selectmen

WEST LEBANON The city airport plans to remove 32 acres of trees on airport property by the end of next year, according to a recently released final environmental assessment for the proposed obstruction removal project at Lebanon Municipal Airport.

The assessment says the alternative tree removal project would remove trees and add two new hazard beacons with less impact on the neighborhood than the original plan.

This plan puts the airport in closer compliance with FAA regulations regarding obstructions, but does not remove any hillside or extend any airport runways, said airport director Richard Dyment Tuesday.

This alternative project would remove 32 acres of tree obstruction south of Runway 25 to the airport property line.

We really need to clear the trees out to the property line to clear out the tree line, Dyment said. These trees that were working on are close to the runway and really need to be taken back.

The airport property abuts wooded land owned by the city, which would remain as a buffer between the airport and a nearby neighborhood.

The tree removal is expected to increase airport visibility for about six homes on Poverty Lane, the final assessment says.

The project also includes lighting changes, said Dyment.Were removing 38 obstruction lights and replacing them with two tall hazards beacons, Dyment said.The mitigation and permitting process for the project has begun, Dyment said.

The project is expected to go out to bid in the spring. The trees would be removed during the winter of 2015-16, Dyment said.

We need to do some other work before that, but the physical cutting of the tress wont happen until the winter of 2015-16, he said.
