Cemeteries were originally devoid of trees. Open fields. What is the issue here?

Bill, when I went to a Cemetery Commission Meeting last summer, I was introduced to a new employee named Quinn Forman who is responsible and quite knowledgeable about all the happenings going on in each of the cemeteries. Sounds like a call is in order to him to get more details. I was surprised at the amount of trees that were cut down as well.

Judy, they cut down a lot of the trees (large bushes) that have been there for as long as I can remember. It just makes the place look barren.
Maybe it's so the police can see clearly as they drive through. A lot of graves seem to have been down over the last year or so. Not sure if it's just erosion or on purpose.

Bill - I was there today and saw them. Hopefully it's maintenance because there were a LOT of dead branches, etc hovering over the graves.

Does anyone know why trees are getting cut down in Union Cemetery?
