Animal Crackers by Mike Osbun for July 03, 2023

indeed, a sad view

Everyone should read “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss. He speaks for the trees!

In my area the Emerald Ash borer insect did that to all the ash trees ;-(

They may have stood their ground but it’s up to us to stand up for the trees.

And sadly two native tree species: American elm tree – very susceptible to Dutch elm disease and American chestnut trees which are very susceptible to the chestnut blight. 8(

Not to mention destroying the rain forests for profit…shopping centers, buildings, or just for the hell of it! Destroying undiscovered species, potential medicines yet to be discovered…..man is the most destructive animal on Earth and never learns…

agricultural tree harvesting – look it up – you might be surprised – AND you might even learn something. js

Too many forested areas coming down to make room for houses. But what’s the answer? People need a place to live. What I really object to is people insisting they need a monster home. That’s pure vanity, in my opinion.

Must plant a tree for every one cut down, minimum, but not without fire barriers. (S.E. Wisconsinites unhappy with Canadian smoke at “Hazardous” level.)
