i do agree to most of that Ekka,
But i'm thinking of the last big gum for another 10 km's. you know the one lone tree poking out from the roof tops. yes it's on private property, but 1 million people might look at that tree a day, not to mention the wildlife it supports, although it's on someone elses property we all benefit from it.
Imagine the same tree riddled with dead wood, the owner is scared that the tree is going to kill them (maybe in their sleep?). what happens if they can't afford to get the dead wood removed or the tree suitably pruned (atleast easing their paranoia). the council's not obliged to help and what kinda successful business man is gonna do the job for nothing?
The owner might decide the only option left is to poison the thing.
Who loses out? the tree owner or the rest of the community?
....I think the real problem is that i'm a dreamer NOT a realist........ |
