Hi David,
We just arrived back from Florida yesterday and listened to your message about destruction of a hundred plus year old tree this morning. That's the one my mother defended over fifty years ago. I do not take this lightly.
Most of the trees in Kincardine were planted for a purpose. Why is that not even being taken into account.
What are these people thinking? Are they out of their minds. Do they not think about nature at all?
The artist / canopy value of the tree, which is easiest one of town's tallest, is obviously more than these town people recognize.
My position is that if the tree on Durham Street in Kincardine is sound it should NOT be removed for HUMAN CONVENIENCES NO MATTER HOW IMPORTANT THEY SEEM at this time.
How many thousand protestors do you want?
Is there no protection order on valuable town assets?
If I remember correctly the tree is sound and I will work with you to stop the removal. At the very least, your property value will depreciate about $30K so you should be recompensed.
Who are they key players?
