What is the trees?

Spiking Tree is a type of ecoting to prevent the woodwood from being created by trees. In the United States, tree spike is a federal crime, since 1988. Many tree -peak opponents argue that this practice is extremely dangerous and potentially highly alienating, while supporters claim that protocoling is much more difficult, creating an effective protest method. The tree is not damaged by this activity, because many hard objects are naturally stored in the trees and the trees are able to adapt their growth scar patterns through the affected area. However, when Logger tries to lower the tree down, the tree tip captures the saw blade, causing it to break or break. Although the pointed tree is successfully felled, it can still cause confusion in the mill like it did a top tree in 1987 when it caused breaking piLa, almost killed the mill worker.

Some tree spikers say that it should be as ethically as possible. Ideally, the tip should be placed significantly above the saw height, so the protocols are not in danger. The spikes should be made of brass or other nevor metal, so the tree itself will not be too damaged. Spiked trees should also be clearly marked and the timber should be warned when the trees were increased on the wood harvest plan. When it is ethically, the tree increase aims to ensure that mining is not profitable and thus leads marked society to leave tree stands on itself.

However, more radical activists do not practices the tree ethically. They claim that the environment is of greater value than the potential loss of a person of life. Practice certainly has a long history; The incidents of the tip of trees date back to the end of the 18th century, although it was not popularized only in the 80s. Daven, co -founder Earth First!

Since at the end of the 80s, tree trees expanded more widespread, especially in northern California and southern Oregon, some activists were interested in this practice. Several documented injuries indicated that spike trees had the potential to be deadly, and many environmentalists feared that the tip of the trees gives their movement a bad name. As a result, many groups condemned this practice and claimed that there were safe and more efficient ways to stop logging.
