Every day, I traverse Brickdam to get to and from work, sometimes as often as four to six times a day so I am familiar with it. Brickdam, like many of the streets in central Georgetown, is lined with magnificent trees.
I have written a lot on the need to care for the trees in the city, however, my advice continues to fall on deaf ears and it is with disgust and sadness that I continue to witness their daily destruction.
Last May, I wrote about the danger of using oil paint on tree trunks to make them look decorative. This practice continues and today, the city is poorer with the loss of a large Flamboyant tree which toppled over outside of the Brickdam Police Station during last week.
