Maybe our city forester can address how the city is doing towards the planting of Monterey pine seedlings in the city to make up the deficit of all the tree removals over many years without sufficient planting of new, replacement trees.

Over the last decade there has not been enough done to ensure the "signature forest" of Monterey Pine, Coast Live Oak and Monterey Cypress is healthy overall and there are a range of young, middle age, mature and older trees. Carmel has already lost a lot of its former aesthetic forest feel and will continue to lose what has made Carmel special if the city does not get serious about making sure Carmel's signature trees do not disappear in a larger urbanized forest of foreign, exotic and non-signature trees.
