Tofino protesters end vigil after tree wins reprieve
Tofino protesters end vigil after tree wins reprieve Two men who have been living in an 800 year old
Western red cedar climbed down yesterday. The ancient tree was
scheduled to be cut down after an arborist's report that stated the
tree is rotting. The two men came down after being promised that
the tree won't be cut for another 45 days to give town council time
to discuss other solutions. The council is worried that the tree
may fall onto a nearby development. One possible solution would be
to build a support structure that would prevent the tree from
falling naturally. MAY 16, 2001
