Summary

Who’s protecting your favourite tree? Possibly nobody, says author and journalist J.B. MacKinnon. MacKinnon has reported for The Tyee for two decades, and in these pages co-authored a series called “The 100-Mile Diet.”  This week, he explains how beloved trees end up on the chopping block — and what you can do about it.
