yup, this really sucks!
Do you think APG should loose their Tree City USA title for this year? They have the highest level award.
Also should they lose their PLANT award. (People Loving and Nurturing Trees)they have with Maryland.
If so, I think these organizations should be e-mailed.
How can we try to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again?

Maybe the Hippies had it right, back in the '70s.
But their medium was wrong, the song was a hit, no one heard the message.
X-man, Frax, Facebook was not the right medium. That, and it was already too late. Plans had been laid, approved.
Question is how do you protect the next tree?
I live in a jurisdiction where that tree would have already been on a protected list if not an historic significance list. How did that start?
Hippies? No. Arborists.
Arborists protecting our jobs from hack work, and it went from there.
Ball, your court.

So how do we do that?
I would surely like to see that something like this doesn't happen again.
Big trees in my state are already protected against development by the Forest Conservation Act of 1992. But since it was on Federal land the State couldn't seem to do anything about it.
A lot of time was spent behind the scenes. Every politician was contacted, multiple times. The military Forester. We tried to get someone close to the owner of the development company as well. We even had a lead trying to get an executive order from the Whitehouse.
There would have to be a Federal LAW that keeps this from happening again. but you know what, even if there was a Federal law that stated in detail that a tree like this has to be worked around and saved; I but they would still take it down if they felt like it.

It amazes me how dissapointing the government can be at times.
Oh and it was cool for me to see so many Arborist speak up.
I don't just think it was only us, viewing that page, I know the opposition visited that facebook page as well. So, it was good for them to read all the arborist supporting that tree.
I feel like a gosh dang hippie after all of this
