You did all you could. It was too late to intervene once the plans were approved and the tree removal began. Unfortunately, this is what the outside world will see of Baton Rouge and its "green" program, but at least it appears that two of the most significant trees will remain. Now you all will need to turn toward monitoring construction impacts to make sure the contractors make no mistakes around those last two trees. Insist upon participation in the contractor orientation process by a certified arborist familiar with large tree conservation, and be sure that his instructions for clear zones, protective fence, etc. are followed.
