RIP: Silver Spring Trees

Thanks to Jerry Weast, Christopher Barclay, Shirley Brandman, Patricia O'Neill, Judy Docca, Phil Kauffman, Mike Durso and Laura Berthiaume, Silver Spring is saying good-bye to some very old trees in a significant forest.  These pictures were taken this week at the 60 year old McKenney Hills Elementary School site where the previous elementary school for under 500 students is being supersized to hold 700+ students.


Their lasting legacy to Silver Spring shown in pictures.

  1. Please, it is not "Thanks to Jerry Weast, Christopher Barclay, Shirley Brandman, Patricia O'Neill, Judy Docca, Phil Kauffman, Mike Durso and Laura Berthiaume" It is thanks to the people that VOTED for them. Please correct this blog post. If YOU voted for the current Board of Education, YOU wanted this. We in this county just held elections last November 2010. Every single BOE member up for election won. YOU made it happen. Not them. Certainly not Jerry Weast, who is only a public employee. This event did not happen out of the context of YOU voting for this to happen.

  2. The size of the school has nothing to do with the trees that are being cut down. The school is bigger because it went up, not out. The tree removal has simply nothing to do with the size if the school. What you say are simply lies.

  3. Nice try. But the school went out - way out - not just up. And since you don't understand that, we will post the pictures to show you.

    A picture is worth a thousand words.
