Sights: Chopping Down Riverside’s Heritage
This row of healthy orange trees along Blackburn Road in the community of Victoria Grove is not an uncommon sight in Riverside. Neighborhood orange trees are nice reminders of Riverside’s citrus heritage and the orange groves on which many of our homes were built.
Here is that same row of healthy orange trees being cut down and removed.
I guess I will contact the Metropolitan Water District to find out why.
This is truly heartbreaking. Beautiful trees GONE in a matter of hours leaving an entire community wondering, “WHY?”.
