Hi Erin,
I have just read that the the public has until 30 June to make comments about the Significant Tree Register. The developers must have read that one, as beautiful old trees are being turned to wood-chips at an alarming rate in our immediate neighbourhood (Eureka and Otway Streets).
The big vacant block on the corner of those two streets was clear-felled the other day. Down went a truly superb old oak tree, and many others. This sort of activity is creating havoc in the bird population. The trees in our garden are being visited by flocks of distressed birds who have been displaced from their nesting places. Lots of territorial squabbles are breaking out amongst a variety of bird species, from rosellas down to wattle birds, finches, pardalotes, eastern spine bills, etc. Even the sparrows are having a hard time.
In the past couple of days, the beautiful garden at an old Victorian house in Otway Street has gone through the chipper. Result? Even more birds with nowhere to live.
Uncaring developers and the Council only see dollars in this wreckage of habitat.
Thanks
Frank
