New arborist to tackle WV tree problems

Tree vs. view
debates spur
municipality
to create

new position

WEST VANCOUVER’S
new arborist will be
negotiating her way through
the often hostile jungle of
view lovers versus tree hug-
gers as she helps the
municipality formulate and
implement a comprehensive
tree management policy.

By Elizabeth Collings
News Reporter

Shirley Charlton-Nicolson has
been hired as West Vancouver
district's first full-time permanent
arborist.

Erik Lees. West Vancouver
parks superintendent, said the
municipality created the position
in part ay a response to the in-
creasingly heated tree-view
disputes thar have arisen in’ the
district over the past few years.

“The whole concern about trees
and views has ballooned so much
that it has created a demand for a
full-time arborist,” said Lees. Un-
til now, a variety of staff
members have been acting as ar-
borists.

With a doctorate in botany
from the University of Alberta,
Charlton-Nicolson brings to the
job 20 years’ experience in the
fields of botany and ecology
where she has worked in both
Alberta and Ontario.

Charlton-Nicolson said she will
advise the municipality on
everything from the removal of
hazardous trees and vetting ap-
Plications to cut municipal trees to
tree maintenance and — conflict
resolution between the municipili-
ty and residents as well as private
tree companies,

Chariton-Nicojson will

WEST VANCOUVER district's arborist Shirley
have her hands fuil as she

helps the municipality implement a municipal tree
policy. She is West Vancouver's first full-time ar-

borist.

Conflicts concerning municipal
property and private property will
be considered on the basis of a
case-by-case site analysis, she said.

The proposed tree management
policy also provides a process for
dealing with tree concerns between
Private residents, Lees said. “hut
we don't mediate."

The district does not hase the
enabling legislation ta permit the
municipality te act berween resi-
dents in any more than an aasisa
ry capacity. He said.

Currenth atthe dratt stage. the

tree management! policy was refer-
red last month to the Parks and
Recreation Commission’s cultural
services committee for further
study and consultation with
Charlion- Nicolson.

The commission would tike to
see the poligy used on a one-year
trial basis to “iron out the bugs."
said Teves,

“Por all intents and) purposes,
we've been using the policy for
the last seat and ats been working
out quite well he added.
