    Surely you can't be serious? Removing a Sydney Blue Gum! These majestic trees take many decades to mature. Tall natives are vital to a healthy ecosystem. The destruction of this or others should be criminal in my opinion. The wonderful Kookaburras and Powerful Owls that would frequently visit Epping are fast becoming a rarity and the reason for this is the removal of natives such as this. These carnivorous birds require tall trees for their perching, nesting and hunting. I drove past a development site the other day and read the developers' blurb raving about the 'green' view where it looked down on the little park opposite. Epping has always been known for its beautiful trees and I don't mean the token ones found in parks, I refer to the ones in the yards of homeowners. Don't let this Sydney Blue Gum fall the way of so many others.

    I thought Sydney Blue Gums are protected trees for our area. This tree needs to be preserved for the Kookaburras and Powerful Owls. Keeping this tree is especially important for Epping now it is most likely the Essex Street Heritage Conservation Area (HCA) will soon be rezoned to allow for 5 storey apartments. Once this happens every tree in the nearby Essex Street HCA will be removed and most likely many more trees will be removed from around this street as the development spreads throughout the suburb.
