Regarding the Environment and Climate Change Committee <\/a>presentation<\/a>: Kudos for the tree planting events, though in South Surrey I only see the tree \u201cmurders\u201d as in the 20th Avenue overpass construction and any construction project\u2014a total flat earth policy.<\/p>\n Regarding salmon habitat, how could Surrey allow the truck parking lot next to A Rocha? The trucks will be dripping oil into the ground and it will leach into the Little Campbell. Shame on Surrey.<\/p>\n To the mayor: I have been making blackberry jam for most of my life. Hooray for the blackberry bushes!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s plant more trees and stop killing the second growth that we already have.<\/p>\n Lois Smith, Surrey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LETTER: Let\u2019s keep planting trees \u2013 and save the ones we have in Surrey Published 7:30 am Sunday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":553517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-553607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=553607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/553607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/553517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=553607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=553607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=553607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
