No, I did not miss the news about the loss of trees in the city.  The city has a bylaw to protect trees from being cut down.  Now need to enforce it.  I was speaking specifically about the West End where I have not seen a loss of trees but rather have seen an increase.

I guess the challenge to the tree issue would be the concept of private property.  If one owns ones' own house and land, do they have the right to alter the trees and greenery the way they want?
