FORESTRY IN FENDALTON ?
Sir.—On the pavement in Fendalton road, near the junction with Heathfield avenue, is a vigorous growth of young timber that bids fair, given a few more years immunity, to become a flourishing spinney or copse. I have watched its progress for many months, marvelling not only gt its hardiness that defies so unsympathetic an environment. but at the apparent indifference of local authority to this arboreal invasion of the highway. But perhaps a forward-looking Forest Service already has an eye on the potentialities of this fortuitous afforestation? Meanwhile, however, before the growth assumes more formidable proportions. may I suggest that the rights of wayfarers vis-a-vis this manifestation of nature’s fecundity be clearly defined.—Yours, etc., J M T March 16, 1956.
