    The man that owns next door is an old farmer from way back. I know him, he has done work for me here. His son lives in the back unit (it is a secondary dwelling, no proper kitchen etc), they have tenants in the front house who pay rent. This is illegal under the District Plan.

    I am trying to find conscience at the moment and struggling to be fair!

    I guess old farmers from way back are used to doing what 'needs to be done' on the farm, and fail to see the impact in a residential situation.
    Thing is now, the damage is done, and no amount of reparation satisfaction is going to change that, a sad day. Hopefully the trees will at least live

    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    I really hate making a fuss, although some may disagree...LOL

    I will follow this one up though.

    Reparation can come in the form of trees to the value of the branches cut off plus some, planted at???? Plenty of parks around here to chose from.

    I hope the trees survive too! Bet the neighbour up the back is not happy may have to go and pay a visit up there.

    Tree hugger

    There is nothing wrong with being a tree hugger, I have been a proud one for years. And there is definitely nothing wrong with making sure that muppets who damage our protected natural nvironment are brough up to task by the proper authorities.

    Do not question your actions you are doing the right thing and if as a consequence they don't do it again an others think twice before doing it at all then you have done a very very worthwhile thing.

    Good luck with your council, please keep us posted.
    We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
    Running over the same old ground.
    What have you found? The same old fears.
    Wish you were here. QWQ

    Sounds like a job for the rule infested RDC... there must be rules against cutting down trees of that height without council consent. Especially natives.

    Gotta love bush.

    I love trees.... planted heaps on my property over the last couple years.

    Oh and they make good firewood for fueling the burny thing in the lounge in winter.

    Some people several houses down decided to cut their trees down. We now have a nice view of the substation down the road.
