Absurd: 5000 trees chopped down at OZschwitz schools after girl accidentally killed in playground

More than 5000 trees have been chopped down at schools across NSW with $13 million spent on "tree safety works" following the playground accident in February in which eight-year-old Bridget Wright was killed by a falling limb from a gum tree.

The Department of Education confirmed that arborist assessments had been completed for 1960 out of 2181 school sites (89 per cent) and that 5042 trees had been removed. Arborists recommended lopping and removal of trees at 1587 school sites and the work is expected to be completed by the end of next month.

But the program, financed by the department, has been condemned as a knee-jerk reaction by one of the country's leading arborists who confirmed that he had been paid for work under the scheme.
