Richmond - The Editor, Re: "Walmart goes before council again," News, Oct. 9. I live on Alexandra Road, across the street from the proposed Wal-Mart, and have biked, walked and driven past the largest tree in the area hundreds of times.
Richmond - The Editor, Re: "Walmart goes before council again," News, Oct. 9. I live on Alexandra Road, across the street from the proposed Wal-Mart, and have biked, walked and driven past the largest tree in the area hundreds of times.Today, I measured the circumference of the tree, and, five feet from the ground, it measures 12 feet, eight inches.I have no idea of its height but think at least 100 feet.My question: Would anyone know if this is the oldest tree in Richmond, and if so, should it not somehow be preserved?Jack DanylukRichmond
