PHP before.
PHP after 5,214 trees were destroyed.

By the way …
PHP ~ LAND (incl internal water) IS:
CBF 10 ACRES + VB P&R 58 ACRES - CLEAR CUT 12 ACRES = ~ 46 ACRES LAND
ABOUT 20% OF PHP HAS BEEN “RESTORED” SINCE MARCH 17, ‘25.

WHAT WILL THE ADULTS TEACH THE KIDS & FUTURE GENERATIONS OF KIDS!?
Photo above March March on March 15.
One of short cuts taken:
Councilman Schulman Made the Motion, Councilman Berlucci 2nd the Motion then after lengthy testimony by the public, City Council voted unanimously January 7 ‘25 to light $12M on fire 🔥 on the no bid Capital Improvement Project(CIP) contract THAT IS UNNECESSARY!
EXCUSE ME NO BID CONTRACT HANDED TO ONE COMPANY WHAT!?
Another missed opportunity.
Too late. Live oak lumber destroyed. Ordinance language ignored.
Virginia Beach could have done this instead of destroy 65 live oak trees, The City Tree, over 4” DBH(diameter at breast height) as Ordinance passed January 7th ‘25 requested “preserve”.
Imagine the largest live oak you’ve ever seen - VB OFFICIAL CITY TREE - transplanted with a 99% SUCCESS RATE!
AT THE MINIMUM VB SHOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE OFFICIAL CITY TREE OR TRANSPLANT 100% OF THEM OR SAVE THE LUMBER FOR INSPIRATIONAL PROJECTS!
Tragic this opportunity was ignored.
“The City Staff and any contractor directed by the City are to make good faith efforts to preserve any trees that are at least four inches in diameter, especially live oaks. The City may work with nonprofit partners that focus on tree preservation in its preservation and replanting work on the Project. Without delaying and to the extent feasible for the Project, the City Manager is to bring forward publicly a plan to mitigate tree loss for those trees that are at least four inches in diameter.”

That plan is where they pretend they care about the vital Virginia Beach Tree Canopy as it is a “plan” that can be ignored.
