The charm and attraction of the West Shore has always been the trees. For generations, people built their houses within the West Shore forest.
Thoughtful developers save the best of the forest. However, some do not. They just strip the forestland before they build.
What is missing is a tree bylaw. Every advanced city has one. Not sure if the West Shore municipalities have got around to this protective law. If not, it’s overdue.
