The Mt Albert community are up in arms as 345 'exotic' trees are set to get the chop today.
150 people came together yesterday for a funeral procession, concerned about the "environmental destruction" caused by giving the long-established trees the chop.
Some are calling the trees 'pests', others claim they are the homes to entire ecosystems.
But what do you think? Should the exotic trees in Mt Albert be cut down and replaced with natives?
