Request to view report made by 'five experienced arborists' and associated relevant documents from 2014 through 2018 pertaining to the decision to remove 78 trees from campus
Dear University of New England,
Per the recent email from Prof Peter Creamer (Friday 12 January, 2018 at 3.36PM), I write today to request access to the report made by the unnamed 'five experienced arborists' that has lead to the decision to remove 78 trees from the UNE campus without further consultation, and each similar report made since 2014.
I also ask to view the document that contains the 'final decision' regarding 'the 78 trees', the 'strong scientific evidence' and the parties to that decision, please.
I also ask to see the plans and contingencies in place for the 'relocation, if necessary', of the affected wildlife.
Last, I also ask to see the plan that contains the mapping for the 500 native trees to be 'planted in groves', including the species and locations and the parties to the decision making behind this.
Thank you in advance.
Yours faithfully,
Dear Concerned @UNE
