h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

the way around tree sitters is easy

you take a small cutting devise and strip about 2 inches of bark off the tree all away around, you then hammer in some copper nails, then walk away for about 3 months of winter

the tree sitters have to endure a miserable winter up a tree and come the spring the tree does not spring back to life because it is dead.

if the tree sitters still refuse to leave just let mother natures recycling process get them out of the trees, they rot and fall down

cheap and easy without all the costly court injunctions and bad publicity

and here was me thinking this entry was going to help
small organic human beings save old growth forests
from the money grubbing of the corporations...

oh i am sorry... i just saw
in your journal that you say you regret some of your entries

is this one of them?

Not really, no
This entry was intended to be more descriptive, rather than prescriptive. Of course, that means that there's room for an entry with tips for potential tree-sitters.

ooooo
tempting!

i noticed also theres a link there in the sidebar to a save the trees site


anyway, sorry again for posting without thinking
and/or reading the entry twice

serendipity

noticed this entry earlier today
and tonite
the news talks about how only 5% of Californias old growth forest remains
after cupla hundred years of logging




we are talking redwoods here folks
