Saving the Trees

<< Back to archives | Tuesday, September 28, 2004

Gently scooping tree, roots and plenty of supporting soil, this incredible machine removed a Sweetgum tree from the site of the new building at Mill and 11th. Ebenal Construction held off work on this section of the property long enough to allow the saving of the trees - and we thank them. Big Tree Supply from Snohomish came at no charge and transplanted it to another location. They have a 98% survival record for their transplanted trees, so the future is good for this healthy tree.

Tipped on its side for a ride down the freeway, the tree will be gently wrapped in a light cloth to snug the branches together. We thank Erin of the Re-Store and Sue Tercek of Edgemore for their invaluable help in saving the two Sweetgum trees. We looked for a place in Whatcom County to take the trees but found none, so they will find a new home in the Seattle area - possibly a city park. And we thank Ebenal Construction for three times extending the additional days we requested to find a way to save the trees. Everyone worked together. Our Fairhaven habit.
