Save this Tree


Was cruising through Oakville today, so I grabbed a quick shot of the white oak they plan to chainsaw. Beautiful tree, even without leaves.

The City shouldn't require the funds be raised to work around the tree, they should just do it. Once in a while we should yeild to nature where possible.

Voice your opinion & shell in a few dollars.

I am all for saving nature but again, everything has a price.
for that price.. it's not worth it..

I agree with alex.. move the tree.

For $343,000 they can plant a whole lot of trees and seedlings somewhere else.

I can see some Enviro-Nazi flipping out on this. ::)

It is a nice tree, but come on, there are plenty of nice trees and for that amount of money I'd gladly chop it down myself if it meant the money could go to a better cause like feeding the poor or for some sort of research.

How does one determine a 'nice tree'?

How does one determine a 'nice tree'?



size/age
number of branches
health of bark
overall shape


and she is a beaut!




and the only way this tree would stay standing is if money grew on trees!

if my car is in the way of a fire and it needs to be smashed
so be it!

if this tree was in a forest with its cousins, we wouldn't have to rescue it

it is too bad we cant keep all trees in the world, but if they are in the way and can't be moved at reasonable expense, well . . .

as i said b4 . . .
