Local residents air tree
preservation concerns

opments, such as the Tempe
Heights tract, to the felling of a
single, but favorite, tree in some-
one’s neighborhood.

Said NSCFT’s Lena Warr-
ington: ‘“‘On the North Shore,
there are virtually no bylaws or
policies in place that stress tree
retention, and no processes in
place to enforce the few well-inten-

have a lot of work to do if v2 want
to protect our priceless heritage for
the enjoyment of the whole Lower
Mainland and for tourists the
world over,’”

Issues raised at the meeting will
be addressed in the next few
months by the NSCFT executive
committee. The next general
mecting wil} be held at Highlands
Community Schoo! Thursday, Oct.
