Dear Subscribers,
      This email is being sent to let you know  that on January 3 
Sheila.Hill-Christian Chief Administrative Officer for the  City of Richmond 
wrote John 
Tautin Executive Director of the Purple Martin  Conservation Association to 
inform him she appreciates our concerns and  will keep our thoughts in mind in 
making a decision about what to do with the  Bradford Pear trees on 17th street 
that are being used as a premigratory roost  site by Purple Martins. She says 
in the letter "the City has not made a  determination on the removal of the 
Bradford Pear trees located at the 17th  Street Farmers Market". 
     As a result of her making this statement we feel  it is necessary to 
continue putting pressure on city officials by writing or  calling to express 
your support for protecting this roost site. Letters should  encourage the city 
to make the roost site a positive attraction for visitors.  Address letters to
                                                         Sheila  
Hill-Christian
