Tree Removal Continues at Fort Ward
December 22, 2017. Alexandria, VA. Contractors who work for the City of Alexandria continued to cut-down large healthy deciduous trees within and adjacent to Fort Ward Park. The trees which were removed pre-date the creation of the historic park and may have been some of the oldest in this area of Alexandria. Yesterday Mayor Silberberg's office was contacted about this work, which seems counter to the efforts of the Mayor and City Council's recent proposal to protect existing tree cover and plant new trees. At this time the Mayor's office has not responded to yesterday's letter.
