Editor: Even though the tree cutting on Victoria Avenue has now begun, maybe it’s not too late for this town to take a look at the town of Orangeville, Ont. and see the tree sculptures on their main street. When they had to cut down trees, they left the trunks standing if possible and had chainsaw and wood artists come and produce some interesting sculptures. Decorative and weatherproofed, they have looked good for a long time.
If the Victoria Avenue trunks are left standing to a height of say over six feet, possibly more if in good condition, chainsaw artists could be invited to come and produce something interesting to look at rather than empty spaces.
Just a thought!
