Editor: I鈥檓 concerned about losing the last unprotected old forest in 91原创. It lives and breathes in Glen Valley at 84 Avenue and 257A Street, and is up for sale by the Township.

We need our green space and trees for many reasons besides oxygen, water filtration and animal habitat. We can no longer deny the fragility of our environment or the reality of a changing climate and global warming.

There are values in our woodlands far beyond dollars and cents. Have you stood in a quiet forest and felt the deep peace there? This is so needed today in our stress-laced, technological, high speed lifestyle.

Let鈥檚 look to the future and hold a vision of a green and healthy 91原创 for ourselves and generations to come. We didn鈥檛 inherit this planet from our parents; we鈥檙e only the trustees for our kids.

Every year, more and more green fields disappear and apartments, condos and houses emerge. Every week many, many homes are advertised for sale in the newspapers. Why build in the middle of a lovely, old forest?
