These trees should be saved for many reasons, not the least being: Terminalia cattapa is a native tree It prevents erosion. Provides wildlife habitat It has cultural & historical value to TI beachfront When you approach TI from Port Kennedy side it is a natural landmark & has been for many years. It provides shade.

I say YES to saving them mekaye trees and that picnic area. Them trees was there I was born and that was 1970. Mum was a young lady when she moved from Badu gor por T.I and them trees was always there ,even before my three older siblings were born. They should heritage list them trees so they can't cut them down.

I drove taxi on TI and these Beautiful Almond trees provided much warranted shade and cool breeze and a place for us to park in between jobs, also being a taxi rank, locals would know to come and be able to get a taxi from this place near the Historical Trees after a swim, relaxing or fishing nearby ... please Do NOT remove these trees! They are part of the Heart n Soul of TI ...
