Re: Story published Dec. 11 called Costco variances approved
I am absolutely sickened by the news regarding the building of a Costco store on the University of New Brunswick Woodlot.
What a sad and pathetic sight it is to now see paved roads, parking lots, and greedy consumerism [...]

Re: UNB woodlot development
At a time when climate change has finally been recognized as the world’s number one threat to survival, it is hard to understand how anyone can support plans to develop UNB’s woodlot.
We need those trees. We need those wetlands and [...]

As a concerned citizen and a supporter of Fredericton’s “Green Matters” campaign, I am greatly disturbed by the rapid development that has already destroyed acres of UNB’s prided woodlot, and that has been given the OK to continue to destroy this environmental landmark as time goes on.

In light of Fredericton’s loudly publicised goal to be the first city in Canada to reach the Kyoto protocol, and its self-proclaimed title as a “Green City”, it seems ironic that Fredericton is participating in the destruction of the UNB Woodlot, that it continues to support development of sprawl, and that Lee Breen was jailed [...]

Recently, Mayor Brad Woodside stated that he will not pressure the University of New Brunswick to conduct a comprehensive environmental assessment of its woodlot – 1,500 acres of which is slated for development over the coming years.
This was surprising to me in light of the city’s newly launched “Green [...]

After development began, nesting trees were felled throughout the fall and spring during wildfowl migration. Contractors were hired to clear the land and large numbers of white tailed deer were driven onto nearby roadways and killed.

Recently, UNB’s board of governors approved a plan to develop 1,500 acres of the UNB woodlot, a complex ecosystem which is home to many species.
