Whittling Away at Green Timbers

This has been going on for years, and no "strategy" for urban forest management has made any difference. Will the city ever stop saying "We're only taking a little bit" and say "We won't take any more, ever"? The unnecessary "Skytrain extension" project is just the latest example, but it won't be the last time the city "whittles away" at it, a few meters at a time.

Fabulous Big Trees!

Mound Farm Park has a group of the largest trees in Surrey. Although the park is not generally open to the public, these enormous old growth trees have been protected in perpetuity and for future generations to enjoy.... they are spectacular!

Stop cash for tree option for Developers

Developers are allowed to cut down way more trees then allowed, then pay a relatively small fine per tree removed . This is in the plans for a row of homes near 10th and 160th- when I read the plans there was something like 30 trees removed above allowed and they just had to pay a fine. Well over 60 - 70 percent not being replaced as I recall. I realize we can keep all trees but developers need to have a better limit- eg only 20 percent can be removed. Also agree more Evergreens!
