[Post-sustainability-committee] Cancellation notice: NGO/DPI Executive Committee Holiday Party December 2, 2016 5:30 to 7:30 pm

Thu Dec 1 10:50:41 EST 2016

Hi Bill,

I know that you take great care in maintaining plants and trees on campus  and I accept your thoughtful explanation.  Nevertheless, I am terribly upset because I know that mockingbirds nest in those trees and that the trees were  extremely old. Why could they not have been cut back a several feet?  They were magnificent specimens and I was really grieved to see them taken down.  I look forward to the new holly trees but doubt I will live long enough to see them mature.

Best, Joan

Hi Joan, Scott, All,
I write to give you a little more information on the Hollies by Roth Hall.  The removal of the hollies was done because they were overgrown and could not be easily maintained any more.  We wanted to get them away from the building to allow the building to dry out more easily.  We are working on replacing them with hollies that are smaller that can be better maintained.

Please do not think we go around arbitrarily removing trees/plants without evaluating the situation.  We also certainly did not know of anyone's personal affection towards these two hollies.  I think you all can contest to Facilities Services commitment to sustainability efforts based on our past deeds.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I look forward to seeing you next week at our next meeting.

Thanks,
Bill

Dear Scott,

when I drove onto campus today, I was horrified to discover the magnificent holly trees next to Roth Hall being ripped out. These were mature trees possibly 50 years old full of red berries that sustain birds and beautify the campus. They were always beautifully pruned and gave everyone who works in that building great pleasure. The sight absolutely brought me to tears.

How can we possibly profess to be involved in sustainability on campus if we can't even protect the trees that live here and the birds that nest in them and feed on the berries.

What kind of holiday party can we possibly have in light of the destruction of the very trees that celebrate and symbolize the season. I am deeply ashamed of an administration that shows neither respect for nature nor for beauty.

Others have shared in grief and mourning all day long as they passed by the building and found the trees murdered.

As far as I'm concerned, every party related to this holiday season should be cancelled.

Joan

Hi,

I heard that several people wanted to attend our Dec 2nd NYC event; unfortunately, the event has to be rescheduled for 2017.   We are not having the Dec 2 holiday party.
When I get additional information, I will circulate that to you all.  Thanks. Prof. Scott Carlin
