- This was the state champion Dawn redwood on North Ohio Street in Arlington. Despite protests, petitions, and public comments, Arlington County did not find a way to save the tree on a large lot where a builder plans to construct two large homes.
- The Dawn redwood with its lower limbs removed.
- Then it was gone, a champion no longer.
I sent a letter to the County Board suggesting how the tree could be saved and I am sending it out via the list serve. Any support via your comments to the Board would be appreciated.
It’s a shame that the county board did not even try to save the tree… and the tree was in a Resource Protection Area (RPA) to boot!
