A Point Loma woman wants to know why 100-year-old trees are being cut down at the gates of Liberty Station.
“These trees have been here easily for 100 years. They’re about 150 feet tall, and there’s no replacing that as kind of our gate guards into the entrance of Liberty Station,” Alex Loker, a Point Loma Resident, said.“At first, we thought and hoped that they were just trimming them and then they topped them," Loker said."They took off the top, which meant that these trees were coming down.
Loker told ABC 10News they talked to the tree service company who told her the trees were healthy but were hired to take them down. “We have a really responsive and involved community here in Point Loma. So, there was unfortunately just no community involvement at all,” Loker said. “If they’re going to take down the trees we’d like to know why and we’d like to be involved in that process.”A spokesperson for Liberty Station sent ABC 10News the following statement:
“To ensure the safety of visitors, tenants and property, Liberty Station made the decision, with the guidance of its tree service provider and certified arborist, to remove the trees which have outgrown their locations and now pose an unacceptable threat. Liberty Station was made aware of possible tree failure that unfortunately could not be managed through trimming and maintenance.
