1. Summary.

This is the most recent report on the imminent logging by the Department of Conservation and Recreation on Memorial Drive on the Charles River.

My blog will not handle all the photos at once.  So I am presenting them in sequence.  This follows on prior reports with the destruction plans, and other photos, plus suggestions on added sanctions for the previously legislatively punished agency in question.

The most recent prior reports are an excellent example of what the DCR is fighting for in this fraudulent operation.  Cambridge destroyed trees the DCR wanted destroyed.  Cambridge claimed to be doing sewer work.  Cambridge and the DCR created the first part of the DCR’s planned massive wasteland.

These photos continue the excellent and condemned grove of cherry trees at the Memorial Drive split.  My memory is that 83 of 105 excellent trees are slated for destruction, PLUS ALL of the excellent group of cherry trees across from the Hyatt Regency.

My photos of October 22, 2015, did not do an adequate presentation of the 100% condemned strand across from the Hyatt Regency.  I will photo them from the Memorial Drive side, with all them condemned by those vile orange spots.

The “approvals” received by the DCR for this outrage are non existent.  They simply asked for money without saying what they were doing.  The DCR has announced a second public meeting for the irresponsible, but far less destructive proposal at Magazine Beach.  That proceeds with the fraud of being a responsible entity.

Naturally, the massive destruction is kept as secret as possible.

As near as I can figure out, the lobbying effort in the legislature amounted to the falsely named Charles River “Conservancy” showing a petition for underpasses under three bridges further out on the Charles.  It appears that they lied that the petition for underpasses supported this massive destruction, without, of course, mentioning the destruction.

The falsely named Charles River “Conservancy” openly supported this destruction about ten years ago when fraud was not the in thing.  The destruction has not changed.  Fraud is now the open tool.

2. Photos from 10/22/15, fifth grouping.

The photos have a difficult job reproducing the orange marks of planned death.  The plumage of these excellent trees blocked the light needed to do the job.  Please review the plans in the prior report for exact information, link below, as the second grouping.  The blackened circles are doomed, excellent trees.  I think it is every tree next to the Charles in the orchard, plus a significant number of others.

This report will be followed by more photos of this condemned, excellent, cherry orchard.  Two photos look like they could be from the median.  they are not.  They are from the grove.  The truck is a worker vehicle.

It is possible that some unprotected trees may yet be protected.  I cannot wait until they are done protecting the few trees they are not destroying.  By then it will be too late.

1. Summary.

This is the most recent report on the imminent logging by the Department of Conservation and Recreation on Memorial Drive on the Charles River.

My blog will not handle all the photos at once.  So I am presenting them in sequence.  This follows on prior reports with the destruction plans, and other photos, plus suggestions on added sanctions for the previously legislatively punished agency in question.

These photos continue photos of the wasteland partially implementing the outrageous DCR plans.  Cambridge started the tree destruction in the guise of a sewer project.  Full plans, including tree destruction which has already been accomplished BY CAMBRIDGE are provided in the first link in section 3, below.

The “approvals” received by the DCR for this outrage are non existent.  They simply asked for money without saying what they were doing.  The DCR has announced a second public meeting for the irresponsible, but far less destructive proposal at Magazine Beach.  That proceeds with the fraud of being a responsible entity.

Naturally, the massive destruction is kept as secret as possible.

As near as I can figure out, the lobbying effort in the legislature amounted to the falsely named Charles River “Conservancy” showing a petition for underpasses under three bridges further out on the Charles.  It appears that they lied that the petition for underpasses supported this massive destruction, without, of course, mentioning the destruction.

The falsely named Charles River “Conservancy” openly supported this destruction about ten years ago when fraud was not the in thing.  The destruction has not changed.  Fraud is now the open tool.

2. Photos from 10/22/15, fourth grouping.

These photos start with the last photo of the last grouping.  You can see the trees which are not being destroyed behind the fence.

This grouping continues photos of the wasteland partially implementing the outrageous DCR plans.  Cambridge started the tree destruction in the guise of a sewer project.  Full plans, including tree destruction which has already been accomplished are provided in the first link in section 3, below.

At the end, the photos start the magnificent grove of cherry trees at the Memorial Drive split.  Off the top of my head, 83 out of 105 trees are condemned.  Note the orange mark of death.

The closely cropped bordering vegetation shown is the norm on the Charles River.  The 16 foot high introduced wall of vegetation at Magazine Beach is unusual, but it has a purpose.  It is designed to and has been allowed to grow to starve the Charles River White Geese.  Fraud of omission is the in thing.

It is possible that unprotected trees may yet be protected.  I cannot wait until they are done protecting the few trees they are not destroying.  By then it will be too late.

1. Summary.

This is the most recent report on the imminent logging by the Department of Conservation and Recreation on Memorial Drive on the Charles River.

My blog will not handle all the photos at once.  So I am presenting them in sequence.  This follows on prior reports with the destruction plans and other photos.

The “approvals” received by the DCR for this outrage are non existent.  They simply asked for money without saying what they were doing.  The DCR has announced a second public meeting for the irresponsible, but far less destructive proposal at Magazine Beach.  That proceeds with the fraud of being a responsible entity.

Naturally, the massive destruction is kept as secret as possible.

As near as I can figure out, the lobbying effort in the legislature amounted to the falsely named Charles River “Conservancy” showing a petition for underpasses under three bridges further out on the Charles.  It appears that they lied that the petition for underpasses supported this massive destruction, without, of course, mentioning the destruction.

The falsely named Charles River “Conservancy” openly supported this destruction about ten years ago when fraud was not the in thing.  The destruction has not changed.  Fraud is now the open tool.

The past gross irresponsibility of the DCR’s predecessor resulted in serious punishment of its predecessor by the legislature, but the predecessor lives on in the DCR and the DCR now is grossly irresponsible.

2. Photos from 10/22/15, third grouping.

These photos start with the last photo of the last grouping.  You can see the trees which are not being destroyed behind the fence.

It proceeds through the strand of condemned and excellent cherry trees across from the Hyatt Regency Hotel.  The orange mark of death is on the side toward the street of EVERY cherry tree shown.

The closely cropped bordering vegetation shown is the norm on the Charles River.  The 16 foot high introduced wall of vegetation at Magazine Beach is unusual, but it has a purpose.  It is designed to and has been allowed to grow to starve the Charles River White Geese.  Fraud of omission is the in thing.

The wasteland situation is, in part, attributable to coordination between the DCR and the City of Cambridge.  Cambridge destroyed targeted trees in this area supposedly as part of a sewer project.

It is possible that unprotected trees may yet be protected.  I cannot wait until they are done protecting the few trees they are not destroying.  By then it will be too late.

Off in the distance at the end is the magnificent grove of 105 cherry trees at the Memorial Drive split.  Last I recall, 83 were slated for destruction.

1. Summary.

This is the most recent report on the imminent logging by the Department of Conservation and Recreation on Memorial Drive on the Charles River.

My blog will not handle all the photos at once.  So I am presenting them in sequence.  This report will start with the destruction plans for the area, which I could not fit in the original report, then resume the actual photos, to the extent that is possible.

Really, it is not possible to resume the photos.  I guess I will have to do two reports at a time to get in all the photos of this outrage.


2. Destruction plans.

Here are the plans for destruction in the area covered by the photos.  Much more destruction is included in the plans than is shown here.  A link to the total plans begins section 4, below.

The blackened circles are healthy trees condemned for destruction.

Not able to fit in in first report.

3. Photos from 10/22/15.

I am resuming from group 1 with photos, insofar as I can publish them, and will proceed again after ward.

As stated, this will have to resume with the third report of photos.  Two reports at a time, and I am overloading my blog.
