George Meets The Lorax

Add mass arborcide to the growing list of Yankee sins:

Nearly 400 mature trees are going to get the ax to make way for the new Yankee Stadium — although the city vows to replace them with up to 12,000 young trees.

A Parks Department spokesman, Ashe Reardon, said yesterday that the replacement trees will be “of all different sizes and shapes” and will cost about $14 million.
