Richmond - The Editor, What is happening to all our big trees? Look at one corner on No. 2 Road - gone are the three big beautiful Douglas firs where owls used to sit and call.Look at the end of No. 2 Road and Railway Avenue - that wood lot and its amazing apple trees is now a big hole in the ground, soon to be a huge building, blocking everyone's view.Look at the end of Princess Lane where it meets the Dyke Road. Gone is the old fir that eagles used to use as a resting place.What does the tree bylaw actually say? I believe it says cut that big tree down before anyone has a chance to object.That is what happened in Clayoquot Sound. We all know how that turned out and thank heaven someone stood up for the trees.Steffany WalkerRichmond
