This message is for the City Manager and the City Council:
I am a resident right in front of the recent cut down of a lot of the mature trees near Neville Manor.
It is very upsetting for me to see this. Fresh Pond is a big part of our life. We enjoy all the woods and the greenery there.
For all those mature trees to be cut down is such a shame, is such a shame. And I can’t express to you how upset me and my family are about this.
I know there will be saplings that are replacing those, but that does not give us the woods and the green area and all the creatures we see when we walk Fresh Pond and when we get to Fresh Pond.
I heard from a Realtor that it is going to be replaced by a soccer field, but that does not excite me as much as the natural woods that we have loved, and we really really want to prevent any more trees from being cut down. That is my very strong opinion.
I just wanted to voice that so that you are aware that a lot of the residents here are not very happy about this.
If you want to reach me, my number is [omitted]. I would be glad to talk with you if you want, but please please stop the destruction of our trees, the native trees which have been here for decades. It is just not worth the sacrifice to have new plants.
I just do not understand the reasoning, and I am really really going to miss them, the ones you cut.
It is like seeing animals killed. It is very very saddening.
Ok have a nice day.
2. North Cambridge, MA, resident - loves nature, nesting hawks.
I am a resident of North Cambridge.
I received a letter. "Do you think Fresh Pond Woods should be destroyed?" . . .
My personal opinion: no.
I have been watching the Hawks out here build their nests and raise their babies.
It is a sin.
I just hope you do the best you can.
