Trash
Trees Inconvenient. Messy. Disease
prone. These trees are blacklisted by experts and disappearing
from the Dallas landscape. But for many of us, they inspire
passionate discourse.

ran as the first letter...on page 2 of the new winter 2006
edition!!!
TO: Michelle Robbins, Editor, American Forests Magazine
RE: Autumn 2005, Letter to the Editor entitled "Champ dethroned
in Arizona"
It is always depressing to read about the loss of another
significant tree. Although a Champion Tree can be replaced on the
list in many cases, the loss of a Historic or Heritage tree is an
irreplaceable loss.
Consider finding, recognizing, tracking, photographing and
bragging about your local trees while they exist. These local
"treasures" must be recognized and preserved in perpetuity for
future generations. To learn how and why it is important, please
visit: www.texastreetrails.org. It will be worth a moment of your
time and you will be glad you did!!! The merits of the project
warrant consideration and acceptance by the public.
