We woke up Saturday morning to the sound of multiple chainsaws, cracking trees, stump-grinder & tree-grinder doing their work deep into the night. We thought it was all over Friday night but not so.

How to depict the destruction of a whole mini-forest without before & after images? I only have these afters because the view from our house was nothing but forest until the poisonings & the chainsaws. The fence-line was once dense with trees & vines & bushes with bird nests all throughout.

Aftermath of the destruction of illegally poisoned protected rare Australian trees in neighbour's yard, formerly a forest of them surrounding a small house. Formerly a superb habitat for a wide range of native animal and plant species with its own unique, protective micro-climate, now gone.

Came home from running errands to find our driveway littered with branches from a stand of illegally poisoned protected rare Australian trees being cut down next door so neighbour can finish his shoddy-built MacMansion's luxury resort-style backyard.
