Bell is intending to build as many as seven of the disguised cell phone towers, with construction set to begin in two months time in May.  Because the cell phone trees will be less than 30 meters tall, they do not require municipal approval.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cIt\u2019s really bizarre looking at them in the picture\u2026 it\u2019s like a white pine on steroids,\u201d notes the Township of Muskoka Lakes\u2019 Mayor, Alice Murphy.  The idea has been given a try in areas of the United States but this is the first time that the experiment has been carried out anywhere in Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The \u2018tree trunks\u2019 are actually made of steel while the branches are constructed out of fiberglass.  Bell is planning to construct the towers in Brackenrig, Port Carling East, Walker\u2019s Point East, Little Lake Joseph, Foot\u2019s Bay, Port Sandfield, and Breezy Point Road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cWhile we are still in the planning stages, we expect to install approximately 20 tree sites throughout many communities in the greater Muskoka area,\u201d says Bell spokesperson Jason Laszlo.  \u201cThe equipment comes to the location prefabricated and is assembled on site.  When complete, the tree will stand between 25 and 29 meters and will be positioned to blend with existing trees.\u201d The tree towers will be erected on private property away from built-up areas in a bid to alleviate any concerns about exposure to radiation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bell Canada is making cell phone towers that look like trees to try to blend in with the
