Hi Funarty,
No need to apologise for being a greeny around here.
Thing is, you gotta start somewhere, all significant trees start small.
Councils have a huge responsibility to do the right thing, not only by protecting their veteran trees, but also by caring for and nurturing their younger tree stock. Oh, and planting responsibly....And, given the paucity of veteran trees in SE Queensland, by researching ways of encouraging the things that are generally anathema to Arborists....selectively harming specific trees to encourage decay and hollowing, thus bringing back some of the lost habitat that will, in turn, encourage native wildlife back to the coast.
