Guest Post: Does Seattle’s New Tree Ordinance Do Enough to Protect Our Tree Canopy?

This is a guest post written by Wedgwood resident Bernedette Haskins. As a Seattle voter and Wedgwood resident I find that the new tree ordinance does not go far enough in protecting healthy mature trees that humans NEED for survival.
