There is one near my hometown that the U of Chicago comes out and studies every summer and it "preserved" from development of any kind. I am grateful to those who preserve these areas.www.self-sufficientsam.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065860466566055543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-26748954043813562252022-06-18T22:39:44.502-05:002022-06-18T22:39:44.502-05:00I hate to see oak trees cleared.

Furniture or lumber or Ink or Charcoal... anything. It would be a waste to mulch it up. I personally think you should plant a new tree every time you cut one down. The lock carbon and provide new life and O2 for everyone. After 80 years, you can repeat the process and get a little lumber for it.
