Need Pics

[mpriley02]

I'm writing an article for our local green building directory on trees and construction. I wanted to see if I could get some pics on the subject from you folks.

I need pics that show tree protection zones in place, tree damage that's obviously from construction (dieback, grade change, trunk damage, trenching, etc.), and some of construction sites with vehicles parked or materials stored on root zones.

If you wouldn't mind sharing, that'd be great. Please include credit info, and you'll get the credit in the publication. You can send them to my email - mpriley05 at gmail.com

Thanks!

Here's a bunch. Sadly all examples of the 'bad'.

Well that shouldn't be to difficult, our area is littered with everything you just listed except for tree protection zones. I see majestic trees in our forests buried 6 feet with half the bark scraped off by a bulldozer and half the crown splintered more often than I would care to. The disregard for trees that have endured generations is disturbing. Good luck, I wish you well.

Is it for the next WNC Green Building Council Directory coming out?

If I remember to throw my camera in my truck I'll try to take a couple of snapshots for ya.

Rob's pics are better suited for Urban areas. Mine would be more rural.

Heres a pic, not of construction but none the less bad enough.

Thanks for the pics! Keep 'em coming. Yup, it's for the WNC Green Building Council. It will be out next spring, but the article is due in November.
