I was reading Logarithm's blog about the new clear cut on Division. I was similarly shocked by the view when I went by there today. Here are some images from the area.

The City of Olympia invites local artists to apply for a project to design tree guards on Olympia’s West side. The City will commission one local artist to design a suite of five visually or conceptually related vertical tree guards at the intersection of Black Lake Boulevard and Harrison Avenue, for the functional purpose of protecting trees and supporting locked bikes as well as adding an aesthetic amenity to West Olympia. Fabrication of the tree guards will be undertaken by the South Puget Sound Community College Welding Program, with consultation from the artist. For a prospectus, visit www.olympiawa.gov/cityservices/par or call Stephanie Johnson, Arts & Events Manager at 709-2678.

“With our innovative NeighborWoods program and in-house tree nursery, Olympia is a national leader in municipal urban forestry,” says Olympia Mayor Doug Mah. “The community enthusiasm for our 1000 Trees in One Day event has been fantastic. As of today, over 500 community volunteers have stepped forward to help, and locations for over 1,000 new trees have been identified,” says Mah.

Anyone familiar with the lot set to be developed at Cooper Point Drive and Evergreen Park Drive SW (just off 101)? It is a 10+ acre plot that the Chevron station sits in front off. I am curious to see how many of those large trees they will remove. I hope to contact someone with the City to get an idea. I am sure it is to late too to try and save the area. It would be a shame if they remove all the trees. I will however take a few photos of the lot to post here. Hopefully the before and afters won't be too dramatic... Thanks.
