Telling me that my city is lost 4,000 elms last year, as the Star Tribune did this morning, is just part of the story. So is telling me that the city cumulatively has lost 130,000, as the 2001 State of the City does. Is that 50 percent? 75 percent? 95 percent? A cursory search of the city's web site doesn't answer the question of about how many elms remain. It's not in the urban forest policy, for example. Does anyone out there have a reliable estimate?
