this guy wasn't a exactly a tree hugger tho. he was just crazy. the guy climbed an 80 foot Sequoia, threw apples and oranges at peeps down below, yelled and swore at first responders, peed on and moon the crowd, ripped off branches to make a bed, etc.

he stayed up there for 24 hours and climbed eventually climbed down himself!

So these people are all tripping on acid right? This isn't something someone sober would do... Right? XD

okay that crazy dude is hilarious this is what I call a good solid case of f***ery

Frog that is epic...I like to think of myself as a modern hippie...I don't climb up trees in protest but I love the earth lol

It's dead, old, and rotten LOL they will plant many more trees in it's place...it's holding up construction though until they can figure out what to do with her, so I guess her tactic is kind of working lol but it's coming down one way or another.

I think they should offer if she would like to pay and have it transported to her yard she can keep it.

My bet would be that if she has the time to do what she is doing she cannot afford to have a yard.

That sounds like Darwin's theory of evolution in reverse.

On the flip of the view - I've seen quite a few perfectly healthy trees condemned as 'rotten' because it was a convenient way to justify removing them. Also had a tree that had been inspected and declared healthy come down in an ice storm - the entire core was gone out of it. My faith in 'it's a danger' is very, very low - particularly since I come from a history of loggers, and I've seen those same arborists that inspect the trees raving about the 'healthy old growth timber' in the middle of a second-growth farmed stand.

Caspian I agree with you in the sense that I think they are pushing the "it's a moderate hazard" in attempt to justify taking it down. But I was also just at a concert at that facility and there is literally that 1 tree in the middle of the entrance of the parking lot...it is a nice tree and I have fond memories playing in it too as a kid but I am totally okay with them re-doing the parking lot and planting more trees in smarter areas to improve the Community Centre.

If it was a hazard they should of got rid of it before announcing any plans of reworking a parking lot. If it is just deemed a hazard and that is the only reason, people have nothing to complain about and still look sane. Now it looks like they are only doing it for construction, people get emotional over that and the powers in charge look like donkeys.
