Who we are ,[object Object],“ These trees are part of East Van history, I know I have lived here for 60 years, it is the most FANTASTIC image when walking up from Commercial Drive...these trees go hand in hand with the historic houses that line the streets.” - Judy W.

Who we are ,[object Object],“ These trees are truly magical and draw people from all over to stroll through the majestic canopy they provide.” - Paula K.

What happened to us Woke up one morning to a notice that our world would change “ My daughter and I sing songs to these trees. To remove them would be like removing a small part of our heart.” - Alix R.

What happened to us “ I nearly always choose 6th to come home from Commercial. These are the most fantastic trees we have in Vancouver. They have so much life in them, especially in spring, shooting branches from every part of their trunks.” - Julianne K. Community came together to get answers and demand consultation
