Megan Lynch, who has lived in Chatham County since the 80s, attends the Procession of Trees protest. 'I remember how green and lush (Chatham County) was,' she said. 'And I am an environmentalist, so I know the importance of trees to our everyday life.'
Nancy Martin protests at the 'Procession of Trees' Friday at the Chatham County Courthouse in Pittsboro. The Haw River Assembly organized the event after Chatham Park released a recent proposal for tree protection to the Pittsboro Town Board. 'A lot of areas in Research Triangle Park do have good tree coverage and we’re just worried, especially seeing Chatham Park’s proposed business plan,' Martin said. '… 10 percent tree coverage isn’t enough.'
