A proposed development for a private property on Admirals Road will result in the removal of 33 #GarryOak trees. The #Esquimalt #Climate Organizers have started a petition to prevent this from happening.

This petition asks the #EsquimaltCouncil to deny the current #development permit for the property and require it to be redesigned to allow for the #preservation of the Garry Oak and #DouglasFir #ecosystem. The removal of these #trees would have a large negative impact on #habitat and hydrology for the community, and will require 66 #replacement trees elsewhere as per Esquimalt’s #TreeProtection bylaw.

Please sign the #petition
