Save Johannesburg's Urban Forest

My family and I have planted over 50 trees in Parkhurst in the last 40 years. We see them being burnt by the homeless and cut down by neighbours who renovate. Some are 30m high and over 30 years old. They give pedestrians shade and homes for our diverse birdlife and insects.

Save our beautiful trees

Please keep all of our lovely trees

Fully agree & support

This is REAL ..... I see the effect daily as people destroy year-old trees on properties they hve recently bought. "They changed paradise to build a parking lot" or words to that effect from that song of years ago.

Dear Mayor Herman Mashaba, Please please stop the chopping down of our beautuful trees in Jhbrgs urban forrest. We the people are responsible for our environment! Please Sir!

It is heartbreaking to see just been cut down on a daily bases.

Trees are life. They clean our air, they give us oxygen and water vapour, and they keep the sun away from us. Please, let us protect these gentle giant citizens.

Summercon is particularly guilty of felling our old trees

Summercon is particularly guily of felling our old trees

The amount of tree felking on Jhb and Sandton is appalling and all done by selfcentered, money grabbing, unthinking, useless, ignorant idiots who are only interested in lining yhere own pockets with absolutely no regard fot bird, animal, insect life, let alone air purity and tree life. All developers should be compelled to attend discussions on the importance of tree life and their value to the air, ground and surroundings

We need to take care our earth if we want earth to take care of us. Save the trees.

Trees are life. We can't survive in the city without them. Currently they are being destroyed thoughtlessly and crudely by the modern day version of the invasion of the barbarians, ie developers. We need legislation with teeth.

This is a disaster and must be stopped.

Save our trees

I implore you to help protect our very threatened environment. Joburg & Surrounds must protect existing trees & encourage tree planting everywhere.

Please save our trees!!!

Fully agree well done. Too much development at the expense of trees. Developers should be compelled to ensure a certain minimum percentage of land be dedicated to trees

I think the cutting down of decades old trees in suburbs like Waverley and Houghton to make way for cluster developments is absolutely disgraceful

Particular focus Should be on getting rid of “mid-density” developments, eg townhouses... don’t get benefits of densification, but all the downside.
