Project Background

Tree Protection Bylaw No.1831-2009
I am shocked at how many trees are being allowed to be removed in Abbottsford. It's more than a little shocking and should neither be allowed or have been given permission. We used to have an incredible amount of trees in Abbottsford. It's truly sad and the very opposite of any "climate change" claims that can honestly be claimed.
The city currently has a huge urban forest on McKee peak. Reviewing the McKee Peak neighborhood plan I'm concerned that we're going to lose it. Thousands of Abbotsford residents and many visitors use the trail system. According to tge Trailforks app there are 106 trails at McKee peak.
