One hundred-year-old trees cut down

Key points

• Concerns have been raised over two 100-year-old trees cut down in Red Hill to make way for a CFA shed. Grant Roberts, who was taking part in a Nature Stewards program at the Red Hill Mechanics Hall in June, said his group spotted a felled eucalypt on the neighbouring CFA site.
• Roberts later learned it was a Messmate and that perhaps two had been removed.
• He said the Mornington Peninsula Shire approved the CFA application, despite planning overlays protecting the site.
