Today I went to go visit the Capital Grounds, mostly because I was curious to see if the sign on the tree where the protester stayed for 3 days straight to prevent clear cutting was still there or if they had taken it down. It appears that it is gone. I also find it very ironic that in the name of protecting trees from harm, the protester climbed the tree using climbing spikes. While this is of course not lethal to the tree, it sort of undermines the whole point of protecting the tree.
