Web Site Review
OSHA and the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) have worked together to provide individuals and companies involved in the care of trees an one stop web site for referencing OSHA regulations and ANSI Standards appropriate for tree care. The site also has information on how to recognize hazards and what to include in a safety and health program. Visit this site at: www.osha.gov/SLTC/treecare/
I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
- John Muir
We all travel the milky way together, trees and men... trees are travellers, in the ordinary sense. They make journeys, not very extensive ones, it is true: but our own little comes and goes are only little more than tree- wavings - many of them not so much.
- John Muir, Scribner's Monthly, November 1878
