The decision to cut down Vancouver’s oldest and most photographed tree has people in mourning.
Vancouver’s Park Board commissioners voted unanimously this week to cut down the city’s most beloved hollow tree and put up a memorial in its place. The giant red cedar has stood for more than 1,000 years in Vancouver’s Stanley Park, but following a series of severe storms in 2006 that devastated much of the park, the park board says it’s time for the tree to come down.
“We are dealing with a tree that is dead and, unfortunately, its time has come,” Vancouver Park Board commissioner Ian Robertson said in the Monday night meeting.
