Since trees provide storm water benefits too, I hope the trees win that debate!”

Well, the trees will now have a FT arborist and there’s no city stormwater engineer, so that’s a win for the trees right there.

Some engineers have a hard time getting used to the idea but it works for areas with lower amounts of runoff.
