Residents concerned with tree removal at Air Ronge’s Heritage Park
Air Ronge residents are concerned with the large number of trees removed from Heritage Park.
As part of Air Ronge Council’s vision to make the park a more family-friendly recreational destination, recent work has involved the removal of many trees bordering homes and other areas of the riverside space. One resident who is unhappy with the removal of trees is Cheryl Norgaard, who sent a letter to council stating too many were cut down.
“I did try to reach out the village and some of the councillors have responded to me saying they also didn’t realize the extent … to which the trees were removed,” Norgaard said in an interview with larongeNOW. “It seemed like it was unnecessary for them to remove as many trees as they did in my perspective.”
