I say, bore a big ol’hole in it and make it a natural bridge/tunnel that people can just stroll through.
That way people can stop and count the rings.
“I say, bore a big ol’hole in it and make it a natural bridge/tunnel that people can just stroll through.”
I say leave it in place, tunnel under it, and make picture/word displays for why the tree fell, and how the fallen tree recycles itself, into nutrients on the forest floor, etc.
IOW an educational nature display.
Out West we have big trees, big mountains, big canyons, and they are worth protecting for people to marvel at the majesty, and learn about things in nature.
Thats what I say. Just cut hole in it and let everyone walk through.
