Tree Conservation

Today I received this email:

"A quick note to let you know that the Hornsby Shire Council Tree and Vegatation online discussion forum will close at 5.00pm on Friday 24 December 2010.
Your comments and ideas and participation in the quick poll at http://bangthetable.com/treeandvegetationprotection will guide the development of Council's new Tree and Vegetation Protection policy. Have your say and forward this email to colleagues and friends so they can also have their say."

Please, as the Council asks, forward this to your friends, and all of you have your say. Beecroft and Cheltenham are beautiful partly because of all our lovely trees.

But do remember that the RTA and Transurban are planning to buldoze a new road through Chilworth Recreation Reserve from Allerton Road to the M2 Widening Project construction camp under the M2 viaducts simply because a stand of Blue Gums is now apparently blocking the original construction road between the motorway and the golf course. If true, this to me demonstrates what is wrong with the present policy. I will therefore be voting for Option 2.
