Removal of street trees

I noticed a few days ago that TAMS have started chopping down trees on the median strip of Captain Cook Crescent near Manuka. In the past couple of weeks, in just the three blocks of Captain Cook Crescent between Stuart Street and Barallier Street, I have seen Eastern and Crimson Rosellas entering nesting hollows in two of the trees on the median strip. If TAMS feel it is necessary to remove these trees, they should not be doing it while native birds may be using the nesting hollows in the trees. I've put in feedback on the ACT Government web site suggesting this. If they get more feedback along the same lines from other people as well, more notice may be taken.
