Four large old trees on Meadowbrook are expected to by cut by Hydro Quebec, initially at the request of the golf course manager and Groupe Pacific. Now that the area has been designated as a green or recreational area we need to ensure that it is properly protected and preserved. We also need to focus on retaining the character and history provided by the old trees on the property. Hydro Quebec says the trees are decaying but we do not know whether this has been verified by a certified arborist.
We are following this situation closely and urge our supporters to do the same. Please check this post for media coverage updates:

UPDATE: The trees were all cut down April 5, 2016.
