Losing the Canopy

You can see four stumps just on this street. Overland Park has decided to aggressively remove ash trees to get ahead of the ash borers. Currently they are in the process of cutting down 250 trees from 83rd to 87th streets and Nall to Lamar (so just north of us). The streets are beginning to look naked. I understand the problem but it is sad to watch. While they are replanting, it will take a long, long time to have the beautiful trees we have known.
