Dear Editor,
Re: [Letter: Don’t Cut Trees, 91Ô´´ Advance Times, Nov. 4]
Amos Avitan is correct, not wrong as I expect some readers will conclude.
The removal of three trees by their owner contributes to our climate change crisis. When added to all other trees removed to accommodate 91Ô´´â€™s rapid growth, each tree’s removal becomes problematic.
To help see the big picture, here are two of my recent photos. They’ll help to grasp the current rate at which we harvest the last remnants of our province’s first growth Crown (public) forests.
The huge wood-waste piles scheduled to be burned add further to our climate crisis. And burn season is now.
