"This isn’t the first North Vancouver cedar to gain fame while facing the axe. In 2021, the city first insisted that a mature cedar needed to come down as part of the redevelopment of the Harry Jerome Neighbourhood Lands. A campaign came together to save the cedar, and the development was changed to allow the tree to remain standing. " - North Shore News
