That would be too bad, but there were clumps or groups of these firs in various spots in the park so not sure if all would be affected. In any case, certainly a possible food tree and widely planted as an ornamental. They look superficially like a spruce but have a unique cone with a little "tail" on the seed.

I've heard rumors they're cutting down those firs for a cricket field.
