  • "This tree, and many other trees marked for removal, is over 100 years old. That’s 100 years. That’s 100 years of wisdom, 100 years of resilience in a developing city, and 100 reasons why we should not cut them down."

    —Paloma Muniz-Ochoa, 17

  • “If we remove the trees, we won’t have a place to live. If there’s no trees, there’s no birds. That means a drier climate. Nothing will be able to survive on this planet.”

    —Roman Davis, 6

  • “These trees provide all kinds of social services, and we can’t do without those services.”

    —Ty Garrison, Certified Arborist

  • “We are a longtime parter of Pasadena Unified, and we’ve enjoyed partnering to plant trees at school since 2008. We must find a creative solution to save some of these trees.”

    —Claire Robinson, Amigos de los Rios
