Arlington Tree Action Group

For those of you wondering why we shouldn't sacrifice our trees to "protect" trees in the outer suburbs, take a look. #ArlingtonVA #MoreTreesPlease tinyurl.com/5hcca4v9

Hey @ArlingtonVA! You like to be trendy. Here's one that's too good to miss. @arlparksrec @ArlingtonDES We're looking at you too! #arlingtonVA #MoreTreesPlease

@_AFUT @asfvirginia Excellent rally! Thanks for identifying that Missing Middle Zoning will result in major loss of tress in Arlington. The "one tree per unit" policy proposal for multi-unit homes will results in fewer trees in almost all cases. #arlingtonva #MoreTreesPlease

Support Trees! Attend @CivFed's Collaborative on Preserving Arlington's Tree Canopy's Plenary Meeting TAKE ACTION FOR TREES! When: May 7 - 9:30am-12:30pm Where: Arlington Mill Community Center More info here: bit.ly/3vZu8kb Register here: bit.ly/3Lzr1pN

Tomorrow is the last day for providing feedback on Arlington's CIP. Tell the County trees are infrastructure and you want resources dedicated to our trees. Survey here: bit.ly/3in2gjG ATAG's thoughts on the survey here: bit.ly/3tqwDff

@TheGattoniCelli Trees plays an outsized role in protecting us from the worst effects of climate change. They absorb rainwater, prevent soil erosion, filter greenhouse gases, cool us, support/feed wildlife, and improve the quality of our health and lives. We don't want trees in Arlington why?

@ArlTreeAction if you want to work together fighting sprawl let me know. Our goal should be to maximize the number of overall trees, not to fight tooth and nail for each individual tree.

Tell Arlington to Invest in Trees as Green Infrastructure! County CIP survey open until 3/22 bit.ly/3in2gjG For more of ATAG's thoughts on the survey, visit our website: bit.ly/3tqwDff

Did you know a builder needs to provide only 20% of tree canopy for any single family home project even even if they clear the lot? 20% lot coverage is not sufficient to sustain Arlington's tree canopy. @ArlingtonVA this has to stop! #MoreTreesPlease bit.ly/3GZqOsL

@kcristol @Matt4Arlington @libbygarvey @TakisKarantonis @caffeinatedpro @Arl_CDorsey @CD4arlington @ArlTreeAction throws down the gauntlet. It's time for you to act! shorturl.at/lmJNX #ArlingtonVA #MoreTreesPleasewa

.@ArlTreeAction briefed the County Board Feb 12 about better enforcement of rules, and tweaks to the rules, that would save more trees during "by-right" construction, which is depleting the 61% of our tree canopy. arlingtontreeactiongroup.org/wp-content/upl…

We need a new canopy survey, we need higher canopy replacement rules for both single and multi-family areas, we need tweaks to zoning setbacks and lot coverage and stormwater rules. Weigh in with the County Board and your delegates in Richmond! #MoreTreesPlease (2 of 2)

@ArlTreeAction briefed the County Board Feb 12 about better enforcement and tweaks to rules to save more trees during "by-right" construction, which is depleting our tree canopy in residential-zoned areas. More info here: shorturl.at/htzB0 (1 of 2)

@ArlTreeAction will be speaking to the County Board, around 8:35 am tomorrow, Feb 12, to urge action to preserve more trees during residential construction projects. Construction and development are causing rapid loss of mature canopy. Come support ATAG and trees!

Come support ATAG at the County Board Meeting 8:30 AM on Saturday, Feb 12. Our topic: excessive tree on construction project sites county-wide. Stand with us and let the Board know there is broad support for change!

@Matt4Arlington @kcristol @CD4arlington @caffeinatedpro @libbygarvey @TakisKarantonis @AHStaff Here's an equity score you might want to consider. How would #ArlingtonVA do? #MoreTreesPlease

@arlparksrec Here's a thought for you: Have you looked at the health of the trees in central Arlington's park? A lot of trees are in decline. What are you doing to keep our park trees healthy? #ArlingtonVA #MoreTreesPlease

Want to preserve Arlington's tree canopy? @VaDOT wants to "improve" turning lanes on Rt 50 and Filmore at a cost of 18 trees, 1.6 acres of permeable land, $29 million. @susmoarlington has suggested feedback: bit.ly/3tnQlVB Online comment form: bit.ly/3eYIJUw
