Parks and scenic views are two of the major reasons why tourists visit Vancouver. Earlier this summer, the Vancouver Park Board made a decision that enraged some local residents over an issue involving both of these. It began with a decision to remove 70 trees from a particular viewing area in Queen Elizabeth Park. This decision was made because the current height of these particular trees was obscuring the scenic view popular with tourists. The issue was immediately brought to the attention of some people concerned with the local tree situation. They promptly reacted by sending letters of protest to the Park Board and the local media. Their main complaint was that these trees selected for removal were old-growth trees. However, the Vancouver Park Board informed them that even though the trees were going to be removed, they were planting 140 brand new baby trees, two for every tree cut in areas that were less dense. Still, the protesters complained that the trees shouldn’t be cut down. Their main complaint was, “Why destroy 70 perfectly healthy trees for something as unimportant as scenery?”
