Not to be disrespectful of anyone. When life gives you acorns, make oak trees...so to speak. We have two stately live oaks on our property in the prehistoric side of The Villages; one on the golf course side and one on the street side. We are very protective of these, sorry to be cliche', majestic trees. But hey, we are humans here in this space we call earth. Urban sprawl doesn't have to mean neglect. Many of us brag and are rightfully proud about what type of wood floors or cabinets we have. It took trees to make these human commodities. I think that is great and the way it was intended to be. But, look to the future. Plant a tree to replace the ones lost. They are long term renewable resources.
