Scapegoats, sinners, or fashion victims? The death of trees in the Australian city

conference contribution

Perusal of questionnaire data, media reports and the web was undertaken to determine if and why so many urban trees are felled. While a few prople do seem to genuinely hate trees or use them as scapegoats for their own deficiencies, the over-riding reason for felling trees appears to be preferences for different types of trees and gardens between different tree-lovers. Effective controls on tree felling in private space will be necessary to make the urban forest sustainable.
