Sadly,
after centuries of struggling to survive, watching history unfold,
these beautiful old heritage oak trees have become the target for
destruction by the
City of Schertz, Texas. The city's councilmen have determined, that in
the interest of "progress", they choose to destroy
these beautiful specimens of Nature's lasting
beauty. Without any reasonable consideration as to what these
giants have endured and the history they have witnessed for hundreds of
years, what they mean to the people around them, what they mean to the
land, soil, air, human life and wildlife, what they signify to all
Texans, the City of Schertz and the developers decided it is not
possible to preserve these ancient trees. Future generations of
Texans will only have photos of what Schertz Oak Trees looked like
before the City decided to destroy them.
One half mile south of the current destruction, is the last stand of
heritage oak trees along 1518, the Woman Hollering Oaks. They are
already being targeted for the next mass destruction.
