Where are our values heading when a structure such as the Sandridge Rail Bridge, which no longer serves any function, is kept, yet 400-year-old trees are cut down for woodchips?

The bridge is no longer used, yet there is debate over whether we should keep it because it has some kind of heritage value. The continued destruction of our great forests is a true destruction of our heritage.
