Keep up the good fight!

I grew up in a city with massive oak trees on the city sidewalks and in parks and the millions of acorns that go with them. We also had pine and chestnut trees in the mix. Acorns, pine cones and chestnuts are apparently too dangerous for todays generations of children and adults to be around.

Urban bans on fruit bearing trees have gradually removed these majestic trees from many New England cities as old ones die off and are not replaced.
