Damaged trees removed From page 14 Both Gale and Moore said they anticipated some complaints from area residents because the trees being removed are healthy. “We're very aware that when we cut down trees in the park peopie get all worked up,’’ said Gale, adding that the city had made videotapes before cutting the trees to record the initial damage done to the park by windstorms. Kennedy said she rirst noticed activity in the park about three weeks ago. Since then, she has in- vestigated the cause of the tree cutting with the city engineering department and the parks superin- tendent, but she is not satisfied with the answers. She said a friend who is a pro- fessional log buyer told her after inspecting Greenwood Park that the trees were not windfallen. But Moore said it is impossible to tell whether trees are windfallen by examining them. According to Gale, the stumps left standing are deceiving because they look as if the tree had not fallen over. “Unfortunately, when we cut the top part of the tree, the root- ball fell back into the hoie it came out of,’’ Gale said. ‘‘It is almost impossible to tell what happen- ed.” Meanwhile, work at Greenwood Park has halted while the city waits for timber stamps from the provincia! government which Moore expects to receive within 10 days. The contractors will then have two more days of work be- fore finishing the job, he said. Now officiaily designated as a park, Greenwood is one of four city parks the electorate voted to dedicate in a referendum in the last municipal election. City clerk Bruce Hawkshaw said the dedication process will take approximately four months to complete. The city must petition the provincial government for title of the land before council’s final adoption of the parks dedication bylaw can proceed.
