An Update From the Lorax!

posted by on August 25 at 13:50 PM

The fight to save a grove of trees at Ingraham High School continues:

In an email, Save Our Trees spokesman Steve Zemke says:

Save the Trees is back in court today on their motion for a Preliminary Injunction to prevent the Seattle School District from cutting down 68 Douglas fir, Western Red Cedar and Pacific madrone trees on the west side of Ingraham High School

The temporary restraining order barring the district from cutting the trees expires today, so if a judge does not extend the injunction against the Seattle School District, logging could begin tomorrow.

Cutting down a madrona should be punishable by hard labor for life.

If you don't step away from the trees, I'm going to have to sing a protest song.

And this one's going to be loud.

Beware My Squirrelly Wrath, you tree haters!

(strum, strum)

Seriously, if it was a bunch of Norway maples, big deal. But madrones are the shit. WRC ain't bad either.
