I would love that. We've asked. Something something budgets, liability, approvals, blah blah blah. Like everywhere else (in this habitat zone), we have acres of just blackberry. They even choke out the scotts broom and butterfly bushes. There's no way us volunteer crews are going to get ahead of all that. What I'm doing is creative, strategic, public relations. In our 80 acre park, we choose spots based on impact and visibility. Just like Tom Sawyer painting the white picket fence. Our first year, I got lots of skepticism, negative comments. A few years later, the park regulars (aka voters) have seen results and progress. It cheers people up. And we're getting all sorts of ad hoc support, donations, etc. Over time, I have to believe, we'll win over enough support to actually compel the host city to honor their tree conservation and restoration commitments. (They're still losing canopy cover faster than its being replaced.)
