News Mature trees face unjust axe By Contributed Nov 22, 2024 Photo by Megan Fisher Dear Editor, Hold tight - we’re checking permissions before loading more content Regarding the story ‘Dangerous Trees to Go’ (Pastoral Times, November 19). Can you please explain just what is the danger? I have read the eight year-old, two-page arborist report that the council is relying on, and it doesn’t identify any particular danger. Our community deserves to be told the facts of why two 30 year-old trees have been approved for removal. We also deserve our local newspaper to investigate and report on the facts. I live in End Street and the only danger I can see is the continued narrow-minded destruction of our town’s mature shade trees. Yours etc. Paul Links Deniliquin By Contributed Contributed content
