Unbiased Urban Forestry Officer Needed

Currently, the emphasis in Fairfax City seems to be to build as much as possible to increase our tax base given how much tax revenues have dropped. I understand this to an extent, we need tax money to keep up all the amenities that make Fairfax such a good place to live. However, we need someone to manage the outdoor areas of this city who can be outside that nucleus of people focused on bringing in tax revenue; someone who will fight to keep our parks and forested areas (neighborhoods included) as beautiful as they are now and not just agree to cut down beautiful trees that have taken decades and longer to grow just to make developers' jobs easier. Someone with forestry knowledge who could manage our city tree budget wisely and have some power to step in when projects are happening to save trees like the lovely one cut down for no reason where the old surf shop was (it wasn't in the way). Thank you.
