Dear Editor:
As the City of Vancouver debates the rights of home owners to remove trees from their property it may be time to consider a similar issue in North Vancouver District. In the past few years it seems we have seen an increase in the rate of house demolition for the purposes of building new homes. This process has often included the removal of a substantial number of trees. Many of us chose to move to North Van, in part, to live in an urban rainforest environment. I hope district staff and council show leadership and creativity in not allowing "death by a thousand cuts" in terms of our natural surroundings.
