A large tree across from Sault Ste. Marie resident Mark Meneanâs property was limbed in April. One day, it was providing shade as well as habitat for wildlife and it was converting carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the environment. The next day, it was reduced to an eyesore trunk with amputated limbs.
Menean believes that the tree was on city property, and wondered how this could happen. He contacted the city and was told that the city does not have any bylaws in place to prohibit any type of removal of trees, brush or tall weeds/grass from city-owned property by a public individual.
