Finding beauty and recognising worth in veteran trees is a means to help the general community to move toward recognising the worth of all flora, and fauna.....its very Qld to think what does it matter we can just plant another it'll grow quick enough.  |
I don't comment much on this forum as I'm not an arborist but when I see irrational thinking well then I'll have my say. Sean, It seems to me you value the life of a tree over that of the life of humans, whether the tree is dead and dangerous or not. Not to mention the waste of money that could be used towards replanting or saving a perfectly healthy tree. I agree with Eric, built a monument or something to that effect but do not keep a dead tree that is dangerous & not to mention the huge waste of money spend toward preserving it.

By the way, I'm a Queenslander and proud of it but unlike your crude comment towards Queenslanders, I am very passionate about our state and world. You'd be surprised how much effort Eric & I put into trying to helping people to save their trees and treat them well. We know it takes years for new trees to grow. Don't put everyone in a box, think before you judge.
