New Parking

This afternoon (Thursday) work began on the new parking lot that will wrap the front of the sanctuary and will connect the two sides of the campus. This new parking lot is going to be a very helpful addition to the campus.

Of course, the new parking lot means several trees have the be removed around the front and sides of the sanctuary. The removal of trees began this afternoon. By the end of the day they had removed five or six trees from the south/west corner of the campus. While several trees will be removed many of the largest and most significant oaks trees will remain. I would like to think that we are getting the best of both worlds: a new parking lot without sacrificing all of the trees.
