As it seems like it happens so often these days, large trees are cut down either on or near public property and the community is not informed, notified or sought out for advice.
It has happened again -- this time at Liberty Station, the former Naval Training Center. At least 20 large what appear to be ficus trees have been chopped down completely around High Tech High and even the stumps have been ground down.

These photos tell the story -- or at least part of it.
Alerted by community members, a Rag investigator checked it out this morning -- Thursday, June 20 -- and has confirmed that the trees are gone. Our reporter spoke to employees of the tree cutting company and they had no clue as to where the order to cut them came from. They also spoke to a couple people at High Tech High and learned the school had nothing to do with the cutting.
