1. Everything should be done to ensure that these tress are not removed. They provide vital habitat and shade.

2. Do not remove these trees. There is not enough in this area

3. At this time of climate change, when we have lost more than half of NSW's trees to fire, and will lose more to these same fires, we need to preserve every remaining tree possible, whereever it is.

   These fires are likely to be our country's major extinction event. Urban populations of tree dwelling animals will become significant genetic pools in attempts to recover species that will now be endangered. So their urban habitat must be preserved.

   Native fig trees are very important habitat for our arboreal animals, providing food and hollows and crevices for shelter.

   The remaining trees of our state will also be important in the absorption of some of the carbon emitted by these ongoing fires. Each tree will play a role in lessening the impact of climate change from now on..

   I don't think that the urban public is aware of the absolute carnage that these fires have wrought. Almost no wildlife has survived the fires. Very few animals have come into care from the firegrounds. And the area covered by fire is the majority of our forest.

   We all have understand the reality of this, the worst and largest fire anywhere in the world to date.

   Please don't allow these trees to be removed unless they pose some threat which cannot be ameliorated. We must keep our trees and stop acting as though this is business as normal in the 1960's..

   Replacing the trees with young trees will not suffice as these trees are mature, and we need our mature trees. We cannot wait for new replacement trees to mature in 50 years.

   As a wildlife carer currently in a fire affected area, I implore urban people to start to think for the welfare of the planet and our children's future in all decisions. .
