Residents of a Burbank neighborhood have launched a grassroots effort to save more than 70 giant trees after the city announced plans to remove the beloved pines.
In a statement, Burbank's director of parks and recreation said: "With a heavy heart, we acknowledge that our beloved Aleppo pine trees, having reached maturity and weakened by drought, must be replaced. Their recent losses in storms highlight the necessity for our community's safety. In the face of evolving urban forestry science and climate changes, we've realized that these magnificent trees have outgrown our residential spaces.
A group of Burbank residents who live on Niagara have started a petition and are working to save the trees, which they say haven't been maintained by the city resulting in images like these from recent storms. "If a tree falls, it's considered an act of God or an act of nature and they don't actually pay out insurance," said MacKinnon. "You can sue them, but when you buy a house you're told, 'We don't cover these things.'"
