Jinx, buy me a coke. I was thinking about the possibility of "replacing" the trees short term with metal sculpture - I can't draw but I know exactly what the metal trees would look like. Ever been to Santa Fe? Some of the art galleries there feature gorgeous metal scultures and I can envision huge metal trees that would be installed on a temporary basis until the ground was restored.
Call me the eternal optimist, but I hope that somehow, someway, those trees can be saved.
