There is a strict and rigorous nomination and acceptance process that one has to go through in order to get a tree. The Nomination Subcommittee of the Public Relations Committee handles all requests.
- The person making the nomination has to successfully traverse the Gauntlet of Parsnip™. This 100 meter dash through a patch of wild parsnip is performed by the person making the nomination and the result must be zero blisters. (Warning - don't click on the parsnip link.)
- All nominees must be real people, living or dead. No fictional characters are allowed, for example: cartoon coyotes, Firefly actors and "honest politicians" are not eligible.
- Rule 38 of the Stranded Tree Rules will be strictly enforced.
- Cash is always accepted to ensure a speedy and successful conclusion of nomination petitions.
OR
The owner(s) believe that we would like to be reminded of someone when we are at the acreage. We have trees planted for friends that are gone, friends that have given us assistance in our endeavor and people we don't want to forget. We have planted many legacy trees, here are a few we have posted.
There is no Rule 38 since there are only 37 Stranded Tree Rules but Legacy Trees are not to be removed from the farm as long as we own the acreage. They may be harvested for lumber in about 60-70 years or so and if any of us are around at that time, we can make arrangements for delivery.
A simple process - We want to remember someone and we plant a tree. (Although cash is always accepted)
