Does anybody water them? These are very young trees and need to be watered

OMG! This is HORRIBLE!! I certainly hope this investigation is given the energy it needs to track down the culprits. It seems possible the tree burning is due to antisemitism.

Any updates on the investigation? I often walks these roads and am not comfortable with a thought that some agressive antisemits might be on the loose.

Fire Dept says the investigation is ongoing. But they feel certain that it was random, not targeted, because the damage was all along the Trail.
