Supposedly 'Declining' tree removal on Moana Street
Hi all. I haven't posted on here but I'm interested to know why Treetech are removing the big tree on Moana Street. I have tried calling the representative for this project 'Tony Armstrong' several times this morning and it just goes to his answerphone.
The tree looks in no way declining any more than any of the other beautiful trees on our street. It seems to me Treetech have become bigger and bigger as a company over the last 5 years and cruise around looking for any reason to justify keeping their ever-growing staff numbers employed. If there is a legit reason Id love to hear it.
In summer the trees on Moana street are so important and its a special thing being able to come home on a 25 degree day and pull into a cool tree-lined street. I'm sure it's half the reason most of us live here.
Also once one goes it puts the writing on the wall for the rest.
I've watched them pull down other supposedly 'declining' trees all along the banks of the Heathcote and the environment is changed instantly not quite forever but for a very long time.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
