City of Kelowna seeks public’s help after ‘senseless’ tree poisonings
According to the city, a large elm tree at 900 Manhattan Drive, near downtown Kelowna, had to be cut down after it died because of poisoning.
It also claims an aspen tree in the Kuipers Peak neighbourhood was poisoned, and that seven nearby aspens with connected root systems also died.“These intentional acts of harm to our trees are really tragic and senseless,” said Tara Bergeson, an urban forestry technician with the City of Kelowna. “With all the benefits that trees provide our city, the big question when it comes to tree vandalism is ‘Why?’ The elm on Manhattan was a mature tree providing shade, helping to clean the neighbourhood’s air and beautifying the street.”Vandals strike in South Okanagan – May 26, 2022
The city says the aspens were in an area known as the Clarance Greenspace, where Clarance Avenue meets Kuipers Crescent in the Upper Mission area.
