The New York City Marble Cemetery loses three trees



Multiple readers passed along the bad news that workers removed three trees today from the New York City Marble Cemetery on East Second Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue ... Unfortunately, according to cemetery volunteers, the trees were diseased, and posed a threat to possibly fall during a storm...



... despite the loss, the remaining trees still provide plenty of shade...



See for yourself during the cemetery's Open Day this Saturday ... 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    !!!!

    Were these locust trees? Ugh, I'm sorry to hear they were diseased. They really helped make the cemetery feel so serene and beautiful.

    So what if they were at risk of falling? No one is allowed in there anyway (except once a year or so.)
