Should have been accompanied by a very large BARF alert.

Wellstone was well known as an advocate for the poor, needy and disenfranchised. And if he had been a republican....they would say he hated these same folks.
This isn't a news story, its a press release.

So, is the crash site some kind of holy shrine, making these trees really, really special? Good grief.

"Five Norway pines and white spruce trees" were sacrificed for this monument to fatuity. Where are the environmentalists when they are really needed?

The dedication for the memorial will probably have the same circus routine as his funeral.....

The memorial will include a gathering area, a legacy trail, a commemorative circle and an interpretive site that looks toward the crash area 2,000 feet away.

"Pine and spruce"
Those are not good structural grades - maybe for trim.
Studs and beams should be d-fir/larch.
