In response to the planned removal of ash trees in Pioneer Park, several residents in Brookings have initiated a campaign to preserve these trees. Barbra first noticed the ash tree removal efforts and has since joined forces with other concerned citizens [1]. They argue that treating the affected trees could prevent further damage without necessitating their immediate removal [2]. The initiative aims to educate park officials about the importance of preserving these trees, which are part of a larger ecosystem in Pioneer Park. Some residents also express concern over the environmental impact and potential loss of biodiversity if all ash trees were removed [3].
