Calle 24 collected over 2 thousand signatures on a petition to stop the removal of 77 trees out of 101 along 24th. Calle 24 and two other community members became the appellants. After a two-year battle with the city the number to be removed was brought down to 31 to be removed and replaced by 17 new ones and 100 new trees to be planted throughout the Cultural District. The watering was led by Mission Verde which was created by community members Kindra Scharich and Joshua Klipp to water the new trees for three years. Mission Verde was part of our quality-of-life committee.
