Trinity Trail Users Unite!

URGENT! If you use the Trinity Trail system, and you enjoy that beautiful grove of trees just west of Rogers Road, read this article now!

Contact Chesapeake Energy and tell them you want them to save these trees! Since they stand to make millions from this gas drilling, I believe they can afford to move the trees temporarily to a safe location while the wells are being drilled, and then return them to this grove when the drilling is completed. This is something that can be done; the University of Texas at Austin recently temporarily moved some 100-year-old oak trees for a construction project.

They have a corporate responsibility department as well, where they claim to want to make positive contributions to the communities in which they do business. Contact them here to ask them to be good corporate citizens and SAVE OUR TREES!

The company would gain goodwill with the community by saving those trees. Otherwise, they're just saying, eff you, we got what we want and we don't care about the rest of you.
