In todays fast paced world, trees are often though of as disposable and expendable. Contractors will often come in and clear off land quickly to develop huge strip malls or property owners will have a downed tree with no idea what to do with them. The trees will be chipped up and thrown in a landfill. Hundreds of years old, these invaluable trees are simply destroyed. Even when some townships and cities recycle the chips, the massive loss of unique and hard to find hardwoods are becoming the norm. The downstream effect is the woods are then expensive, not harvested from quality trees and are of lesser quality due to the wood industry having such a hard time finding older trees.
