The Council has tried to get the contractors to prune the trees with some sort of respect and sympathy for the form and shape of the trees. But, I can tell you because I have seen it, they just hack into the trees and take out the centre of flatten the top and lop the branches. I wrote to Essential Energy today and put a comment on their facebook about my opinion of this desecration. Should you be in agreement perhaps you can put something on facebook too. These trees provide – well most of them – the lovely autumn colours that Armidale is famous for and I see no reason why the community’s wishes as to their treatment be ignored.
