Tree cutting started in the Beaver Pond Forest this week, marking the end of months of protest and debate over the controversial housing development. KNL brought in a construction crew to start work clearing 26 hectares of land on the western border of the property. Security guards blocked the entrances to the Beaver Pond trails and police briefly closed down Goulbourn Forced Road to allow workers to bring in heavy treecutting machinery to the western border of the property on Monday, Jan. 31. A handful of protesters picketed on Goulbourn Forced Road and watched a feller buncher and a grapple skidder tear down a swath of trees on Monday afternoon. “I know you don’t care but you’re breaking my heart,” said one protester as a truck carrying a grapple skidder, a heavy tractor used to clear trees, wheeled past her. The protesters, members of the Coalition to Protect the South March Highlands, had planned to picket Urbandale – KNL is a partnership of Urbandale and Richcraft – offices throughout Ottawa as well as city hall on Monday afternoon. The coalition sent an emergency email to its 14,000 members at around noon, asking them to gather at the Beaver Pond to picket the tree clearing on Goulbourn Forced Road. Kurtis Benedetti, a member of the Coalition to Protect the South March Highlands, was one of the first people to arrive at the protest. “It’s happening fast,” said Benedetti.
