Some live and some die.

I think saplings have really been struggling to adapt to climate change. The hot and dry summers, the freeze-thaw cycles of winter, they need much more care than before, but the City (and any agency responsible for new trees) haven't adapted.
Blair also has huge plater beds with no trees. They didn't even try to start over; they just gave up. Trees are a key part of battling climate change. We can't afford to give up.
Whatever happened to Sutcliffe's promise of planting a million trees?
