 Oakland City Council fined Nigerian Doctor, Wife with $915,000 Fine for Cutting 38 Protected Trees


The Oakland City Council has voted to impose a fine of $915,135.40 on Nigerian medical doctor Matthew Bernard and his wife, Lynn Warner, for cutting down 38 legally protected trees on and around their property on Claremont Avenue.


The decision followed a public hearing on Tuesday during which more than 20 residents urged the council to strictly enforce the city’s tree protection laws. Residents argued that the trees’ leafy canopies play a vital role in wildfire prevention, public health, and environmental equity.


According to reports, the trees were removed nearly four years ago. Bernard and his wife claimed they acted on the advice of an arborist, describing the trees as “dead, dying, leaning,” or in hazardous condition.


The city, however, rejected their explanation and held them liable for violating Oakland’s tree protection ordinances. In addition to the hefty fine, the council placed a claim on the couple’s property, effectively preventing them from developing or selling the land until the fine is fully paid.


Defending the penalty, community tree specialist Erys Gagnez said large mature trees cannot be easily replaced. 


“Trees of that size are not commercially available for replacement. Even with replanting, it will take decades, even centuries, to restore the ecological and protective functions that were lost,” Gagnez stated. “The scale of the fine reflects this reality.”


The case has drawn attention within the Nigerian diaspora community, with many following the dispute between the couple and Oakland authorities over the protected trees.u
