Re: Hole in fir tree’s trunk concern neighbours, March 20
Thank you for raising this critical issue. I can’t help but wonder how the city continues to have the arrogant authority to ignore the fragility of the environment.
A citizen cannot cut down a tree, yet the developers are in this business scot-free. This is despite the obvious and evermore catastrophic consequences of global warming.
Yes, this wholesale mow-down of complete forests throughout the region must stop. Why, I’ll bet that the city’s arrogance leads them to believe that trees do not even pay taxes.
