EAST BRUNSWICK Several residents of the Laurence Brook Manor neighborhood voiced their concerns about what they claim is the townships aggressive removal and replacement of trees in the area.

At the March 9 Township Council meeting, resident Kris Jhamb of Banner Court said he and his neighbors have noticed what they feel is a pattern of overzealous tree removal by the Division of Parks.

In just the past few months, Ive personally observed several dubious tree removals and horrific pruning acts on my own and neighboring streets, Jhamb said. There are certainly justified situations that can pop up from time to time, but in these cases, Im seeing the systematic removal of branches basically anything below 15 feet.

Jhamb also criticized the township for a real failure over the longer term to replant trees that were removed.

Where replanting does occur, replenishment of the trees are, without exception, much smaller, cheaper varieties that really barely pass as shade trees, Jhamb said.

These actions are creating eyesores. Theres unsightly planting gaps and also very aesthetically unbalanced streets. We will be left with a neighborhood thats been systematically denuded with much less attractive space to live and walk around.

Faith Martenz of North Drive agreed with Jhambs comments.

I have had three trees removed on the property along the curb line since Ive lived in my house over the past nine years, Martenz said. Not one has been replaced no seedlings, no nothing.

The St. Helena Tree Committee will discuss the possible removal of two trees from the Highway 29 elm tunnel at 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, at City Hall.

In January Beringer Vineyards announced they were seeking public feedback on tentative plans to remove the two trees north of the Beringer entrance, which pose a hazard to drivers turning onto Highway 29.

Committee members agreed the idea was worth exploring, but wanted to give the public a few months to provide input. Tuesdays meeting will include a follow-up discussion of the plan, but Beringer has not yet applied for permits to remove the trees.

For information, contact Debra Dommen, Beringer vice president, at 259-4673 or debra.dommen@treasurywineestates.com.

Also during Tuesdays meeting, City Arborist Jim Haller will give an update on elm tunnel maintenance.

Isabel Mackenzie chained herself to the century-old tree at Buangor, east of Ararat, for four hours on Monday morning in an effort to save vegetation due to be removed to make way for the four-lane divided highway between Beaufort andArarat.

Ms Mackenzie, who has lived in the area for more than 60 years, said she was concerned about the impact the loss of vegetation would have on the environment.

Lets face it, trees are a living thing ... this tree will die, she said.

I am taking this drastic action to draw attention to the heartbreaking loss of our grandchildrens natural heritage.

All my life Ive been a strictly law-abiding person, but because of the unconscionable damage, I feel compelled to act. Another generation wont be able to enjoy these trees.

VicRoads Western Highway project director Mick McCarthy said the public was consulted before the works began.
