An EVG reader alerted us about the tree beds outside the former St. Brigid School on Seventh Street between Avenue B and Avenue C.
The reader reports that the protective fencing is in poor condition and the area is no longer being maintained. Dogs are also using the tree beds.
"We have lost so many trees in the past couple of years," the reader wrote, wondering whether EVG readers might have ideas for protecting these.
As previously reported, the former school building at 185 E. Seventh St. is being marketed as a residential development site by the Archdiocese of New York. The adjacent St. Brigid-St. Emeric church and rectory are not included in the potential sale.
Any suggestions for helping these trees?

The lack of respect for our Trees breaks my heart. When the city spends money to put in new saplings they leave them completely unprotected, never makes any sense.
