Farewell to Grandmother Spruce

The Sanctuary for Independent Media was faced with the unexpected and difficult decision to remove the taller of the two spruce trees in front of its main space after the installation of a new access ramp for the Sanctuary’s front entrance resulted in the damaging of two significant roots of that giant beauty. Guidance was given by tree lover Jack Magai of More Trees Arborist Collective, and he spoke with Sina Basila Hickey about his assessment and what we can learn from this situation.
