Arboricide in Middle Village

From JuniperCivic.com:

On Tuesday, September 4th a Juniper Park Civic Association member called in a report to 311 and the JPCA hotline that a man was in the process of cutting down a NYC Street Tree on 69th Street. A report went into the Queens Department of Parks. John Mueller of the Parks Forestry Division and the Parks Enforcement Patrol (PEP) visited the location, 69-01 Juniper Boulevard South and found two street trees cut. One tree was cut at its base while the other a larger red leaf maple, had all of its branches sawed off. The homeowner, Jan Tibor Bogdan, told PEP officers and Mr. Mueller that he cut the trees. Tibor Bogdan dumped the branches he cut into his backyard. The homeowner told Parks officials that one tree was damaged in a storm and the other was diseased. However Parks' John Mueller could find no evidence of disease and was quoted as saying the trees were healthy.

A perfectly healthy 200 year old oak tree in the backyard of 23rd Street between Ditmars Blvd. and 21st Avenue in Astoria was chopped down and MURDERED this week by the intimidations of the next door neighbor to the homeowner who did not want to sweep acorns anymore from his porch.

THIS MAN WHO DID THIS AND THE MAN WHO DID IT MIDDLE VILLAGE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AND PUT IN PRISON.

WE NEED EVERY TREE WE HAVE WHETHER IT'S A STREET TREE OR IN A BACKYARD - THERE MUST BE ACCOUNTABILITY AND PROTECTIONS PUT INTO PLA CE AND ENFORCED BY LAW.

ENOUGH OF THIS CRAP!
