This post is so sad in a way...yet uplifting at the same time. It is sad in that with all of man's knowledge and advances, we are still clear cutting. (yes I know that they replant but in this area they harvest hardwood such as oak and black walnut and then IF they replant it is with pine. This replacement of trees that take a very long time to mature with trees that are harvested again in a very quick time, devastates the natural order of things.) I am glad that this particular old tree was saved. I wish more could be.
