So I run into an acquaintance today who runs a fencing company. In chatting with him about a very large job near our home, which happens to be a perimeter fence for a jail. I find out that not only have there been dozens of box elder trees (which I can live with this) torn out and taken to be buried..... There have been over 40 oaks, some of them 2 feet in diameter, taken to the same pit!
To top it all off there are 48 beautiful health elm trees slated to be cut down and taken to the pit as well..... These cannot be legally taken from the site except by someone licensed to do so due to the Dutch Elm Disease rules in our region.
I am furious about the Oak and the Elm. Frustrated about the box elder.
If time allows I am going to get pictures as I head out to the pit to see if the Oak is salvageable without killing my chains in dirt and other crap piled in with it.
For a society that would claim to be obsessed with the environment and saving energy why in the world would we be wasting dozens of cords of wood?
I run into another friend on the jobsite where I stopped to check to see if all of the Oak had been hauled..... And he says to me.....
"Oh right! I should have told you all about this a week ago so you could have gotten the wood!"
I live less than 2 miles from the site and the dump trucks hauling the wood had to drive past my house another 6 miles to their pit.
