Save BPC's Trees

The resilience project will cut 500 mature, 40-year-old trees in Battery Park City. Cutting has already started. Trees could be saved with more design work — they're not doing it.

500 mature 40-year-old trees marked for removal — 40%+ of every tree in the project area, and up to ~80% in neighborhoods like the South Esplanade.
0 design alternatives built around saving them. By BPCA's own response, removals are design choices — and the hard look the law requires hasn't happened.
5+ communities — Sacramento, San Antonio, Coeur d'Alene, Virginia and more — have stopped or sharply reduced cuts like this. It's not too late.
Add your voice. We're mobilizing the community.
We're asking BPCA to justify each removal individually, build a retention-first design alternative for each reach, and submit both to independent review — with no contractor ties. The more residents push, the harder this is to ignore.
