Airplanes are landing at Bowman Field. Trees continue growing around Bowman Field. Some neighborhood residents have formed Plea for Trees, a group dedicated to saving the trees. An enormous amount of tax money is about to be spent for another assessment to assess the previous assessment that assessed yet another previous assessment. Let's inject some sanity into this situation. Why must we spend nearly $500,000 on a study of 150 trees (or clusters)? That's $3,303.33 per tree...for a study. Let's spend that money trimming tree tops that are in the standard glide paths of the runways, which are defined on pilot approach/departure charts. We all love trees. We all make choices when we buy houses at or near airports. Trees grow.
