[Maine-birds] Tree cutting at Evergreen Cemetery..

Was walking some of the paths at the Evergreen Cemetery on friday and noticed that they're cutting down many of the massive trees (many of them appear to be ash trees), with many more marked to be cut. Yes, some of them appear to have some rot in them but what's the worst thing that will happen if a branch breaks? Knock down a tombstone or two? I suppose they could take out someone visiting the cemetery but the probability of that has to be really remote...

These trees provide habitat for nesting as well as food...it's possible that they could also be maternity roosts for bats like the Northern Long Eared bat which is a threatened species...

I don't live in Portland so didn't know if this had even been discussed among residents, didn't see any postings about this on this group with a search...anyone know anything?
