For the scientists at this meeting there is no question of what a tree is worth. However, only a small number of people go out of their way to support the recycled paper industry, and as long as the demand is small, so will be the production. But this type of industry needs our support and is one answer to the problem of deforestation. Perhaps you know of her. The tree grows near a clear cut at the origin of a massive mudslide which destroyed seven homes in 1997.
Mud slides are common problems due to clear cutting.
By force of sheer determination, endurance and above all love and conviction, Julia managed to strike a deal with the Pacific Lumber Company, protecting Luna and some acreage surrounding her from timbering. However, just last month an enemy purposely and ignorantly tore deep into Luna with a chainsaw in an attempt to mortally wound this ancient giant. Luna has been stabilized, but her health is questionable. I know what my answer is. Locally we may not have giant redwood trees to save, but now and then a situation does arise which deserves our attention.
