I've seen many trees with the orange band marked to be cut. Couldn't we leave about 10' of the trunk from the root up, so neighborhoods could work together and carve some nice statues? Something like that could last for decades to come, and bring neighbors together. Could the potential liability to the city make this not worth looking into?
Excellent idea Thomas! We can always use a little more aesthetics in our communities! Does anyone have any ideas on how this can occur? I would imagine we do have to check to find out how to make sure any disease is handled.
I know of several excellent chain saw artists in the Duluth area that may be willing to do some as PR. I am also certain we have any capable artists in the Twin Cities. We could have plaques made with their names. Perhaps some NRP money could be made available for such projects. It certainly would set our city apart from others' even get national media!
