A reward is being offered by the city's parks department after nearly 20 trees were recently discovered chopped down inside Manhattan's Inwood Hill Park. NY1's Amanda Farinacci filed the following report.

Signs are posted all over Inwood Hill Park after the Parks Department said its employees discovered 17 trees chopped down and left to rot across the 200-acre park.

"We have serial tree killer operating in Inwood Hill Park. Right around this time last year somebody killed 35 red cedar trees, obviously deliberately. Now we've got another 17 over the last week or so," said Parks Department Commissioner Adrian Benepe.

Among the damaged trees -- pines, sugar maples, and young tulip.

Is everyone just crazy now, is that it? I mean, is everyone just some kind of nut?

Clearly we need to eat more Beaver to keep the trees safe.

Just look for the guy with the new hand-made Swedish sauna in his backyard.

So I suppose tree-killing is bad, but unborn children can be murdered daily.

Woke up one morning about 5 winters ago and saw, in the creek that runs through my bottom land, two beaver dams that weren't there the day before.

Apparently they built after dark, and they made no discernible sound while doing so.

I haven’t been to a museum in two decades, thanks. I really need to start looking again.
