Wasn’t tree spiking completely made up to smear eco-defence? Like some mills hit some nails in trees and then blamed ecologists. Like no one would ever nail something to a tree.
Also funny thing. Grand parents used to say a copper nail would kill a tree. I looked it up years later and didn’t see anything but mentions of tree spiking. I wonder if its a thing to discourage spiking without mentioning why people would do it.
Also also: If you know an area isn’t going to be cut for profit, don’t spike trees please. Work with people who do cut trees/cut them up to throw them off nature trails and keep it safe for the public.
The only tree I would worry about someone cutting is way down a cliff next to a swamp and is MASSIVE. Unironically probably worth $100k+ because of its size and some specific features. But it wouldn’t be worth it because it would kill you to haul it out quickly and/or would take a few days.
nah it was real and one guy got badly hurt as a result of poor safety practice + tree spiking. Then the org teaching people to do it dissavowed the practice.
That guy later sued his employer for forcing him to use an old blade lol. There’s been 0 actual injuries. And it’s meant to be an advertised deterrent anyway. People in cascadia have a blockchain they tag spiked trees in apparently.
THE TREES WILL ENTER YOUR HOMES OOO YOU BETTER BE AFRAID
