What a waist of money. They could have made that tree into fine oak lumber and built some cabinets or a table and actually profited instead of throwing money away. I like trees but to make a big deal out of 1 where a future interstate or road will be is just rediculous. If you had to sacrifice a few trees for the beautiful new union then so be it it's a freaking tree. It's not like you killing thousands of babies a year which is ok with most tree huggers in this country.
Some folks have their priorities all screwed up in this country.
