I Love Nature and Trees But...
It’s time for the 300 year old Burr Oak in the campground at Meramec State Park in Missouri to go. The only part of that tree that is still alive is the one limb that extends over the campground road...

Why not make some memorabilia out of it and sell it for a worthy cause such as reforestation?
That trunk would make for a great chainsaw carving. I'm in the process of writing a letter to MO State Parks and DNR to express my thoughts about removal of that tree.
^^^^^ This! Great idea!
It will likely happen when someone sues the State of Missouri when a limb comes down in a storm. There was a recent story about 2 news journalists that were killed in a storm when a tree was blown on their vehicle. And that was a healthy tree. The one pictured is a hazard. It should be taken down and carved as suggested above, before someone is injured or killed.
